Nation Articles (MS Am

Grace Norton (1834-1926) was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the daughter of Andrew
Norton and Catherine Eliot Norton, and the sister of American author and Harvard
professor, Charles Eliot Norton. She was privately educated in Cambridge, and
developed a great love for the literature of France, especially that of the French
essayist, Montaigne. Norton became a Montaigne expert, translating, writing, and
lecturing on his works, as well as those of other French authors. Many of her
articles appeared in
World Literature, Nation, and other publications.
This 'portfolio' of materials was assembled by Grace Norton. The materials were
received loose within a portfolio cover. The cover was removed, but the arrangement
kept as received, chronological by article's publication date.
Primarily clippings of articles and book reviews written by
Grace Norton and published in the
Nation, often
anonymously or under a pseudonym. Includes notes and drafts by Norton, letters and
notes with comments from Wendell Phillips Garrison, and other Nation editors and
readers.
