Vicente Llorens Collection of Blanco White Family Materials, 1713-1930 (inclusive) 1798-1841 (bulk)

Extent:

19 boxes, 28 items, and 7.4 linear feet

Abstract:

The collection contains manuscripts related to four generations of the Blanco White family, spanning two centuries: including works, diaries, correspondence, documents, accounts and expense records, and printed material. Joseph Blanco White, the Spanish-English writer and religious figure, remains the focus of the collection; however, his brother Fernando, a politician and intellectual of 19th-century Seville, also accounts for a substantial part of the material. Of particular interest are autograph manuscripts of several of Joseph's literary efforts, as well as other genealogical material relating to the Blanco White family.
