English 22.0 linear feet (bulk 1961-1999) 1826-2000 The David H. Hirsch papers (1826-2000; bulk, 1961-1999) include correspondence, essays, manuscripts, translated materials, research and lecture notes, course syllabi, annotated critical material, financial documents, conference proceedings, committee agendas, notebooks, and photographs. These materials relate primarily to his tenure as Professor of English at Brown University. Most of the collection reflects his extensive research and writing in American literature and literary theory, as well as in Holocaust literature and interpretation. A portion of the collection contains the fiction of his son, Joe Hirsch. Hirsch, David H. Hirsch (David H.) papers Biographical Note

David Harry Hirsch (1930-1999) taught English and American literature and Judaic Studies at Brown University from 1961 until his death in 1999 at age 69.

David Hirsch earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from New York University, and his Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 1961, where he was an assistant instructor of English before coming to Brown University. His field of study was English and American literature, with an emphasis on the literature of Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and T. S. Eliot. He published numerous critical essays in The Sewanee Review, The Southern Review, and Modern Language Studies, which he also edited. His book-length publications include Reality and Idea in the Early American Novel (1971) (based on his dissertation) and Critical Essays on T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’ (1991), co-edited with Lois Cuddy. In addition to his Brown University position, Hirsch was president of the Poe Studies Association from 1986-1988 and a visiting lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, Tel Aviv, during 1966-1967.

He also contributed greatly to the fields of Literary and Linguistic theory. His collection of essays The Deconstruction of Literature: Criticism After Auschwitz (1991) was the product of his research on Deconstruction theory and its relation to the ideas of Martin Heidegger, who was a supporter of Nazi politics.

Professor Hirsch introduced the literature of the Holocaust to the Brown University curriculum in 1983, and he taught courses in Holocaust memoir, song, poetry, and fiction. In collaboration with his wife Roslyn, a survivor of the Tarnopol Ghetto, he translated Justyna's Narrative, a Polish Holocaust memoir by Gusta Davidson Draenger, and Auschwitz: True Tales from a Grotesque Land, by Sara Nomberg-Przytyk. He also translated from Yiddish Ghetto Kingdom, the stories of Isaiah Spiegel; the poetry of Abraham Sutzkever; and Aleksander Kulisiewicz’s songs from the Nazi death camps.

Professor Hirsch died in 1999 and was survived by his wife Roslyn and son Joe.

Rosenthal, Abraham Sutzkever, Hyatt Waggoner, Elie Wiesel, and George Will.

Series 2. Personal and teaching (1961-2000). This series is divided into six subseries. The Personal subseries (1961-1999) contains curriculum vitae; financial, medical, and family documents; tuition receipts for Hirsch’s son and daughter; photographs; and miscellaneous notes, including telephone memos and scraps of paper. The Teaching subseries (1968-2000) includes Brown University department, faculty, and administrative memos; course proposals; course materials for his classes in English, Judaic Studies and Religious Studies; writings on teaching and education; and awards and committee activities. Notable within this subseries are the materials on the Educational Policy Committee and the formation of the Modern Culture and Media Department at Brown University (Box 3, folder 1) and the Phi Beta Kappa Gauss Award Committee documents (Box 3, folders 11-15). The Conferences (1971-1999) subseries comprises mostly conference proceedings on Holocaust-related topics. Notable among these proceedings is the Holocaust Symposium held at Wroxton College (Box 3, folders 21-25). Materials from the courses taught by Professor Hirsch are arranged numerically by course number within each department. Judaic Studies classes (1983-1999) include Holocaust literature and history; Religious Studies classes (1974-1978) include Old Testament narrative and Joban literature; and English Literature classes (1966-1992) include Literary Criticism and nineteenth-century American literature, especially that of Edgar Allan Poe and Herman Melville, as well as classes in British and American Romanticism and Musical Comedy.

Series 3. Research and writing (1826-1999; bulk 1961-1999). This is by far the largest series and is subdivided into 18 subseries by field of inquiry. It includes research notes, drafts of essays and longer writings, and finished manuscripts. Early English literature (1968-1985) is a small subseries of research on Colonial and Puritan literature, and includes “New England Writers and the Legacy of Puritanism: a Prolegomena,” a Hirsch paper presented to the Newport Historical Society (Box 6, folder 12). Nineteenth-Century American Literature (1826-1999) comprises annotated critical material and writings on authors Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry James. Most of the material in this section is devoted to Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe. Nineteenth-Century British Literature (1964-1968) includes the British Romantics, primarily Wordsworth research and writing. Twentieth-Century Literature (1930-1989; bulk 1960-1989) includes John Barth, Wallace Stevens, but is primarily devoted to T. S. Eliot research and writing, including manuscript versions of the Hirsch paper “T.S. Eliot and the Vexation of Time,” and the collection Critical Essays on T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, edited by Hirsch and Lois Cuddy (Box 10, folders 23-26; Box 11, folders 1-8). The subseries devoted to Literary Criticism (1953-1999) contains Hirsch’s review essays on theoretical books by Sacvan Bercovitch, Gerald Bruns, Stanley Fish, Edwin Fussell, and Christopher Norris; and Hirsch’s papers on structuralism, modernism, imagism, and poetics (Box 11, folders 24-28; Box 12, folders 1-5). The subseries also includes Hirsch’s undergraduate papers, notebooks, notes, and manuscript fragments, as well as a topical collection of annotated research materials on related literary topics such as Intellectual History, Linguistics and Semiotics, and Postmodernism. See also: Judaica and Holocaust Studies: Heidegger, Deconstruction, and Related Literary Theory (Box 20, folders 15-26; Box 21, folders 1-5).

The multiple subseries for Judaica and Holocaust studies (1939-1999; bulk 1983-1999) contain topical research material on the Holocaust as a historical event, including photocopies of contemporary New York Times articles (Box 14, folder 2); miscellaneous writings on Hitler and Nazi officers, concentration camps, ghettos, refugees, and resistance movements. The material in this series is also divided into the following categories: Post-Holocaust politics, judicial proceedings, survivors, Holocaust denial; Interpretations of the Holocaust, including the writings of Primo Levi (Box 15, folder 8) and Elie Wiesel (Box 15, folders 11-15); Literature of the Holocaust, including memoirs, poetry, camp songs, and fiction. Notable within the literature category are Rosalyn and David Hirsch’s translation of Gusta Davidson Draenger’s Justyna’s Narrative (Box 16, folders 4-10) and their translation of Sara Nomberg-Przytyk’s Pillars of Samson (Box 16, folders 18-20); Hirsch translations of Abraham Sutzkever’s poetry and writings (Box 17, folders 16-27); and Hirsch translations of Isaiah Spiegel’s collection of stories Ghetto Kingdom (Box 18, folders 19-23). Additional categories are: Holocaust in contemporary culture, which includes research and writing on modern German literature and drama; films such as Schindler’s List, Life Is Beautiful, Shoah, and Seven Beauties; contemporary Jewish writers such as Philip Roth and Isaac Bashevis Singer; and Hirsch’s response to Peter Novick’s The Holocaust in American Life (Box 19, folder 31; Box 20, folders 1-2).

The subseries Judaic Theology, Literature, and Philosophy is wide-ranging and includes topical research on Judaism and the Bible as literature; Jewish philosophers such at Ernst Cassirer, Emmanuel Levinas, and Franz Rosenzweig; and a substantial collection of research and writing on Martin Heidegger, Deconstruction, and related literary theory where much of the material concerns Heidegger’s association with the Nazi Party, and his philosophical contributions to what would later be called Deconstruction Theory. Hirsch writings on these topics are in Box 20, folders 19-25. Research on Hannah Arendt (Box 21, folder 1) and Yale critic Paul De Man (Box 21, folders 2-3) is related to the Heidegger material. See also Literary Criticism (Box 11, folders 16-28; Boxes 12 and 13; Box 22, folder 10).
