Overview and metadata sections

Malliol, William

William Malliol (the pseudonym of William T. McInenly) was a native of London, England. He immigrated to the United States in the 1950's and served in the Korean War with the U.S. Marine Corps where he became a sergeant and earned three Purple Hearts. Malliol taught English at Cheshire Academy in Cheshire, Connecticut, from 1959 to 1961; he also worked as an advertising copywriter, salesman, and ship's captain before turning his attention solely to writing. He published two novels, A Sense of Dark (1968) and Slave (1986).

The collection consists of diaries, notes, literary manuscripts, photographs, and art work of Malliol. Included are holograph and typed manuscripts for Malliol's two published novels, A Sense of Dark (New York: Atheneum, 1968) and Slave (New York: W.W. Norton & Co., 1986), and for several works in progress; over 30 diaries spanning the years from 1965 to 1986; photographs, including one of Robert Frost with Malliol's friends; memorabilia; correspondence, including letters from the MacDowell Colony, a writer's retreat in New Hampshire; and various sketches and sketchbooks.

Papers are a gift of the author. Correspondence between Malliol and McAllister is a gift of Shawn McAllister. 25 Letters from McInenly to Andrews are a gift of David Andrews. 2 Letters from Malliol to Robert Crichton are a gift of Jennifer Crichton.
