Historical NoteReturn to Top
Margery Bailey served on the faculty of Stanford University's English Department from 1915 to 1956, and was active with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. She founded the festival's Institute for Renaissance Studies and was its director until her death in 1963.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The donation includes biographical notes compiled by Bailey Cummings in 2010, with material from "Sandstone and Tile," by W. B. Carnochan, published in Stanford Historical Quarterly, v. 26, no. 1 (Winter/Spring 2002); and "The True Adventures of John Steinbeck," a biography by Jackson Benson. Benson's book details Bailey's association with Steinbeck, who attended Stanford between 1919 and 1925. By Benson's account, Bailey was a famously difficult teacher whose withering criticisms helped sharpen Steinbeck's prose style. Excerpts from a letter Steinbeck sent to Bailey on the occasion of her retirement in 1956 are reprinted from "The True Adventures of John Steinbeck."
