William Young (1847-1920) was an American poet and playwright. Initially a law student, Young turned to drama and writing early in his career, favoring the blank verse technique. His works include "Pendragon," "The Rajah" and "Ganelon." His best-known work is his dramatization of Lew Wallace's "Ben-Hur."
The William Young Correspondence consists of incoming letters, mostly from fellow members of the Authors Club. Subjects include Young's play "Pendragon," general praise for Young's work, and the social and business activities of the Authors Club members. Correspondents include Samuel Hopkins Adams, Elwyn A. Barron, Clarence Clough Buel, Elizabeth York Case, L.T. Chamberlain, Jeannette L. Gilder, Stuart Oliver Henry, Ellen Mary Hutchinson, Rossiter Johnson, William Denison McCrackan, Morell Mackenzie, Charles Ledyard Norton, Duffield Osborne, Charles George Douglas Roberts, Frank Kimball Scribner, Arthur Stedman, Henry Wilton Thomas, Charles Warner, Charles Henry Webb, and James Carleton Young.
The collection is arranged alphabetically by correspondent name.
