LITERARY CHARACTERS DRAWN FROM LIFE Romans a Clef, Drames a Clef Real People in Poetry With Some Other Literary Diversions BY EARLE WALBRIDGE NEW YORK THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY 1936 Copyright 1936 by The H. W. Wilson Company Published April 1936 Printed in the United States of America To My Father and Sisters What, my young friend, is this Terewt... more »h, then Mr. Chadband A good many of the characters in this novel have been drawn, as usual, from persons now living, but the author hopes very much that they will only rec ognize one another. E M Delafield, The Way Things Are The people of this little story Are creatures of phantasmagory. If any deem the cap to fit, The faults in him, and not in it Eliot Craws hay-Williams, Night in the Hotel Preface Romans a Clef has appeared at intervals and in a variety of shapes, forms, and mediums at first in the New York Public Library Branch Library Book News, and later in the Publishers Weekly, The Authors Annual, 1929, the Golden Book Magazine, and the Saturday Review of Literature The Foreword was written by Edmund Pearson for the original list in 1924. As the then Editor of Publications at the New York Public Library he edited the manuscript and added several titles, and annotations which I have not rewritten. Drames a Clef was published in Theatre Arts Monthly, with a later supplement in the New York Post. Real People in Poetry was printed in Part XVI of the Colophon, where it really should be seen. I am still abashed when I look at that hand-set type, that laurel-wreathed title, those rubricated pages. The longer title was borrowed from a section of Vachel Lindsays Collected Poems Half-Told Tales began in the Library Journal. Supplements have appeared there, in the Publishers Weekly, and The Authors Annual, 1930. Poetry of the Supernatural was published in pam phlet form by the New York Public Library in 1919. Mr. William H. Royce, the foremost living authority on Balzac, was so very good several years ago as to send me the Balzac romans a clef. I am also deeply indebted to Marshall Best, of the Viking Press, and to William Rose Benet, formerly of the late firm of Brewer and Warren, for various manful efforts in my behalf E. W.
