Taken as a whole, the Pettengill Collection provides tremendous insights into the daily life and experiences of a non-combat American soldier serving in the European Theater.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections \u0026 Archives.

Gontarski ,  Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor of English, Florida State University, specializes in twentieth-century Irish Studies, British, U.S., and European Modernism, and in performance theory. He has been awarded four National Endowment for the Humanities research grants, and has twice been awarded Fulbright Professorships.\n Dr. Gontarski has been Guest Editor of the  American Book Review ,  The Review of Contemporary Fiction , and  Modern Fiction Studies  and most recently  Drammaturgia . He is also General Editor of two book series: 1) \"Crosscurrents: Comparative Studies in European Literature and Philosophy\" with the University Press of Florida and 2) \"Anthem Studies in Theatre and Performance\" with Anthem Press, London.  He edited the  Journal of Beckett Studies  from 1989-2008, and currently serves as Co-Editor with its publication by Edinburgh University Press.\n The materials in this collection were used by Dr. Gontarski to research his unpublished book about Barney Rosset and Grove Press. Barnet Rosset was born in Chicago on May 28, 1922. His formative years were spent in the Francis Parker School, where \"progressive education\" flourished, and this experience led him to its political counterpart. During World War II, Rosset was an officer in the U.S. Army Signal Corps Photographic Service.\n In 1948, after having served as an officer in the Army Photographic Company in China until his return to New York in 1946, Rosset produced \"Strange Victory,\" a groundbreaking documentary about postwar racial discrimination in the United States.\n In the 1950s, repressive obscenity laws made it illegal to publish literary works that challenged the status quo or violated the prevailing mores of the day.  Rosset deliberatively set out to challenge these laws by publishing these books and defending them successfully in court against attacks by such departments such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency.\n In 1951, Rosset bought a newly-established New York publishing company, Grove Press, named after the Greenwich Village street where it began. Through 1984, he ran it from various locations in the same neighborhood, developing Grove into one of the most influential publishers of its day. Attracted to books that, through their form or content, challenged their assumptions of the status quo, Rosset published writers such as Samuel Beckett, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Henry Miller, D.H. Lawrence, Malcolm X, Octavio Paz, Pablo Neruda, Jean Genet, Eugene Ionesco, Frank O'Hara, Harold Pinter, and Tom Stoppard, that other presses passed up because they were too experimental or violated social values.\n In 1988, the PEN American Center presented Rosset with its Publisher Citation for \"distinctive and continuous service\" to international letters, to the freedom and disgnity of writers, and to the free transmission of the printed word across the barriers of poverty, ignorance, censorship, and repression.\" He was named Commandeur de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres bu the French Ministry of Culture (1999), and was honored with the Small Press Center's Poor Richard's Award (1999) and the National Book Critic's Lifetime Achievement Award (2000). In 2008, the National Book Foundation honored him as \"a tenacious champion for writers who were struggling to be read in America.\"  Rosset died in Manhattan on February 21, 2012.\n The Atlantic Monthly Press, under the aegis of its publisher, Morgan Entrekin, merged with Grove Press in 1991. As of 2014, Grove is an imprint of the publisher Grove/Atlantic, Inc.","The Grove Press Records , Syracuse University","The Barney Rosset Papers , Columbia University","Oral History Interview with Barney Rosset , Columbia University","Samuel Beckett Papers , Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center","The Dr. Stanley E. Gontarski Grove Press Research Materials collection consists of articles, literary manuscripts, biographical materials, correspondence, photographs, interviews, films, Grove Press catalogs, financial information, materials concerning Rosset's 1948 documentary  Strange Victory , and files for Rosset's intended autobiography, The Subject is Left-Handed,  all documenting the professional career of Barney Rosset and the history of Grove Press. A major portion of the collection comprises copies of extensive intelligence files obtained from Rosset's personal papers, compiled by various branches of American intelligence (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Army Intelligence) under the Freedom of Information Act.\n All of these materials were used by Dr. Gontarski to research Barney Rosset and Grove Press.","Use of this collection is provided for non-commercial, personal, educational, and research use only.

Lawrence, Malcolm X, Octavio Paz, Pablo Neruda, Jean Genet, Eugene Ionesco, Frank O'Hara, Harold Pinter, and Tom Stoppard, that other presses passed up because they were too experimental or violated social values.\n In 1988, the PEN American Center presented Rosset with its Publisher Citation for \"distinctive and continuous service\" to international letters, to the freedom and disgnity of writers, and to the free transmission of the printed word across the barriers of poverty, ignorance, censorship, and repression.\" He was named Commandeur de L'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres bu the French Ministry of Culture (1999), and was honored with the Small Press Center's Poor Richard's Award (1999) and the National Book Critic's Lifetime Achievement Award (2000). In 2008, the National Book Foundation honored him as \"a tenacious champion for writers who were struggling to be read in America.\"  Rosset died in Manhattan on February 21, 2012.\n The Atlantic Monthly Press, under the aegis of its publisher, Morgan Entrekin, merged with Grove Press in 1991. As of 2014, Grove is an imprint of the publisher Grove/Atlantic, Inc."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eStanley E.

He received basic training in Mississippi before being sent overseas as an aircraft radio operator for the Army Air Force in June 1943.  While serving in the European Theater of Operations, Wallace was assigned to the 62nd Troop Carrier Group, 4th Troop Carrier Squadron, following his unit to Egypt, Italy, France, Greece, Austria, and Switzerland.  Wallace was eventually discharged from the United States Army Air Force on November 18, 1945 and soon after married Evelyn J. Wallace.  He reenlisted as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force on 16 December 1949, serving in the military for another eighteen years before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel on September 14, 1967.  He spent several years working at Florida State University from 1971-1977 and remained in Tallahassee before his death in 1988.","Note written by Siegler III, Richard J.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed in 2015.","The William H. Wallace Collection was donated to Florida State University by his daughter, Robin Wallace Turco in May 2015.  The centerpiece of the Wallace Collection is a series of forty-six letters and postcards from Josette Asphiotis, a French penpal, to William Wallace from 1944 to 1946.  They met sometime in September of 1944 while William was serving with the Army Air Force in Lyon and continued to correspond until after William returned home to Illinois.  These letters highlight the human experience of World War II.  Both Josette and William use their correspondence as a form of coping with the pressures of wartime service and conditions.\n  \tMoreover, these letters provide an example of overcoming the language barrier between American servicemen and French civilians, as well as offer insights into the transformation on the French homefront following the expulsion of the Nazis, French animosity towards the Germans, rationing, and the airmail system.  On a more intimate level, their correspondence is an expression of human desires and an emotional connection solidified in ink.  Also included in the Wallace collection are letters from William's mother, from a young American woman named Judy Murry, several from Marcel C. Schiess, a friend at Seymour Johnson Field, North Carolina, William's military records and birth certificate, and also many photographs and postcards from his service in Italy and Egypt.  Taken as a whole, the William H.
