Robert Bechtold Heilman was born in Philadelphia on July 18, 1906, to Edgar James Heilman, a Lutheran minister, and Mary Alice Bechtold Heilman. He grew up in Elizabethville and Easton, Pennsylvania, and attended Easton High School and Lafayette University. Even at an early age, Heilman was a gifted scholar, writer, and lecturer, giving both the salutatory speech at his high school commencement and the valedictory speech upon reception of his bachelor's degree in English in 1927. From 1922 to 1926 he was a student reporter for the Easton Free Press and also wrote a regular column on student viewpoints titled "Lafayette, We Are Here." He served as a teaching fellow in 1927-1928 at Tufts University, where he met his future wife, Ruth Champlin. Heilman received his Ph.D. in English from Harvard in 1935 with his thesis The English Novel, 1760-1800, and the American Revolution.

Heilman taught at Ohio University from 1928 to 1930, and at the University of Maine from 1931 to 1935, but his first major appointment was at Louisiana State University, where he taught from 1935 to 1947. While at LSU he developed professional and personal relationships with a number of prominent southern writers and critics, many of whom were involved in the "New American Criticism" movement. He maintained these connections throughout his life. In 1948 Heilman joined the University of Washington faculty, as chair of the English department, with five other outside appointments, including the famed poet Theodore Roethke. Roethke initially distrusted Heilman, but in time they became close friends and Heilman became one of Roethke's staunchest defenders, vouching for his character and teaching on several occasions. Heilman's most notable defense of Roethke came in the form of a persuasive letter (found in box 4, folder 26) to UW Vice President Frederick Thieme at a time when state legislators were questioning the decision to give Roethke unpaid leave during his bouts of manic depression.

Under Heilman's leadership, the English department grew in national stature and many of its faculty, including Roethke, Andrew Hilen, Arnold Stein, James W. Hall, and David Wagoner, contributed prominently to the field. Heilman brought in new faculty from over 30 graduate schools and helped UW graduates find employment in at least that many other institutions. Heilman led the English department until 1971, when he turned 65, the mandatory retirement age for department chairs. He retired from teaching and became a professor emeritus at the UW in 1976 at age 70. In 1977 he spent a year as the Arnold Professor at Whitman College.

Heilman engaged in scholarly research and writing throughout his administrative career and after his retirement. He served on the editorial boards of numerous publications, including Poetry Northwest, Critical Quarterly, Shakespeare Studies, The Sewanee Review, College English, Studies in the Novel, and Mississippi Studies in English. Heilman was very involved with the latter, and corresponded frequently with the journal's editor, George Core. He was also a member of the executive councils of the Modern Language Association and the American Association of University Professors. Heilman received five honorary degrees, two Guggenheim fellowships, and one fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which he used to fund three years of study and writing in London. He took sabbatical leaves in the years 1957-1958, 1964-1965, and 1971-1972.

Heilman's academic interests included 18th- and 19th-century English and American literature and William Shakespeare. He was also a lifelong sports fan and occasionally wrote about football and baseball. Heilman produced ten volumes of critical works and essays on topics including Shakespeare, dramatic forms, fiction, and the American South. He edited 12 volumes and wrote or co-wrote four textbooks on fiction and drama. Heilman sometimes wrote poetry, most notably two light-verse retirement tributes: "The Charliad," for UW president Charles E. Odegaard, and "Sol-iloquy," for UW history professor and administrator Solomon Katz.

Heilman was an active member of Phi Beta Kappa, writing reviews for The Key Reporter from 1959 to 1990, and serving as a PBK senator (1967 to 1985) and a member of the PBK executive committee (1973 to 1982). In 1979 his book on comedy, The Ways of the World, received the PBK Christian Gauss Award for outstanding work of criticism. Heilman made a tour of several institutions as a Phi Beta Kappa visiting scholar from 1982 to 1983.

Robert Heilman continued to write reviews and essays and to give lectures and speeches after his retirement. He also maintained active correspondence with family and colleagues. A collection of his essays titled The Professor and the Profession was published by the University of Missouri Press in 1999. Robert Heilman died in 2004.

Consists of two accessions containing correspondence, speeches and writings, lecture notes, minutes, committee files, photographs, newsletters, books, posters, programs, reports, and awards, 1907-2004 (bulk 1928-2004). Consists chiefly of personal correspondence as well as letters from his years as chairman of the University of Washington Dept. of English. Also included are records relating to his activities in Phi Beta Kappa. Correspondents include Theodore Roethke, Sewannee Review editor George Core, Eric Voegelin, Cleanth Brooks, Norton Girault, Solomon Katz, Glenn Leggett, Robert Penn Warren, Kenneth Burke, John Sisk, Allen Tate, and William Carlos Williams. There is also a large amount of correspondence between Heilman and his family, especially his son Champlin B. "Pete" Heilman.

 Faculty papers and scholarly research Arts and humanities University Archives/Faculty Papers Arts and humanities Colleges and Universities Literature Language and Languages Photographs Newsletters Clippings Sewanee review Tragedy and melodrama Key reporter Accession No. 1000-031: Robert Bechtold Heilman papers 18.75 cubic feet 20 boxes and 1 oversize folder 1907-2001

Scope and Content: Accession 1000-031 of the Heilman papers is arranged by subgroup, beginning with his personal papers and followed by the records of organizations in which Heilman was a member or employee. These include: UW English Department; UW Press, Adminstrative Committee; Monday Club; Phi Beta Kappa; Seattle Repertory Theatre, Artistic Director Search Committee; and Seattle Repertory Theatre, Board of Trustees.

The majority of the Robert Heilman personal papers consists of his correspondence (1934-2001), both personal and as chairman of the University of Washington English department. This correspondence includes letters to and from writers, editors, and administrators of other English departments, as well as Heilman's friends and colleagues. The most notable or prolific correspondents include: Theodore Roethke, Sewannee Review editor George Core, Eric Voegelin, Cleanth Brooks, Norton Girault, Solomon Katz, Glenn Leggett, Robert Penn Warren, Kenneth Burke, John Sisk, Allen Tate, and William Carlos Williams. There is also a large amount of correspondence between Heilman and his family, especially his son Champlin B. "Pete" Heilman; his granddaughter, Elizabeth Ruth Heilman; and his sister, Grace Heilman Stimson.

Heilman's writings and lectures, both published and unpublished, make up the other large portion of his personal papers. Speeches and writings range from his high school salutatory and college valedictory speeches and early short stories, poetry, and schoolwork, to lecture notes, scholarly essays, and the manuscript for his book, Tragedy and Melodrama.

Heilman kept a careful record of his donations to the UW Archives and included annotated inventories with each donation. Heilman's lists (located in box 10, folders 25-27) include notes and brief biographical information about his correspondents.

The two most substantial subgroups document the UW English department under Heilman's chairmanship (1948-1971) and Heilman's involvement with the scholarly organization Phi Beta Kappa. The English Department subgroup includes minutes of executive committee meetings and departmental correspondence, as well as several subject series that document important events or controversies. The Phi Beta Kappa subgroup is primarily made up of scripts for lectures Heilman gave as a visiting scholar, correspondence, and his book reviews for The Key Reporter. Other subgroups document his service on the University of Washington Press administrative committees, the Seattle Repertory Theatre board of trustees and artistic director search committee, and his membership in the Monday Club.

Arrangement note: Heilman filed all of his correspondence by the name of the letter's author. This practice applied to correspondence with publishers, editors, University of Washington administrators, and representatives of other organizations and associations. Heilman's filing practice is retained, for the most part, in the current arrangement. Files contain both incoming and outgoing correspondence. However, the correspondence from Heilman's sabbatical years consists only of outgoing letters and is filed accordingly.

The collection is a merger of 30 separate accessions made between 1968 and 2002. It was processed in 2002-2003.
