Manuscripts
The material in this collection was collected by Dr. Donald Dewey as research for an article about Dorothy Parker and Christopher Isherwood; the material includes two main groups: correspondence and files from 1961 to 1963 and interviews conducted in 1999 to 2000. The first group of material includes correspondence and college files relating to Dorothy Parker's teaching tenure at California State University, Los Angeles (1961 to 1963); this material also includes a 1961 affidavit by Parker swearing she was never a member of the Communist Party and a letter from an angry citizen protesting the college hiring a "known Communist." The second group of material consists of written reports of interviews Dr. Dewey conducted in 1999 to 2000 with former students of Parker's including the poet Michael S. Harper and the photographer Stathis Orphanos. These interviews covered what Parker was like as a teacher and person and what were the strongest memories they had of her teaching. Some of the interviewees also took classes taught by Christopher Isherwood so there are a few interviews which include memories of his classes and teaching.
