Overview and metadata sections
Arthur J. Mandy was a doctor of psychiatry who lived and practiced in Baltimore, Maryland. He and his wife, Sylvia, maintained a close friendship with writer Philip Wylie during the 1940s-1950s.
Prolific author of both fiction and nonfiction, Philip Wylie is best remembered for his science fiction which partially inspired the comic book character Superman, his social criticism ( Generation of Vipers, 1942), and his interest in marine biology.
This collection contains typescripts of three essays by Philip Wylie, correspondence between the Wylies and Arthur and Sylvia Mandy, two manuscripts by Arthur Mandy, and clippings.
Gift of Sarah M. Kern in 2007.
