Biographical History for: Humphries Papers
Historical Note George Rolfe Humphries, noted poet, translator, teacher, critic and editor, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 20, 1894. He attended Towanda High School and entered Amherst College in 1911. He taught Latin in secondary schools in San Francisco, New York City and Long Island through 1957. In 1925 he married Helen Ward Spencer. He was a Guggenheim Fellow in creative writing, 1938-1939. In 1957 Humphries joined the faculty of Amherst College as a Lecturer in the English Department. He retired in 1965. Humphries' lasting achievement was as a poet and translator. His works of original verse include Europa and Other Poems and Sonnets, 1929; Out of the Jewel, 1942; The Summer Landscape, 1945; Forbid Thy Ravens, 1947; The Wind of Time, 1949; Poems Collected and New, 1954; His translations include The Poet in New York, a translation of Garcia Lorca, 1940; Virgil's Aeneid, 1951; Ovid's Metamorphoses: Art of Love, 1953, 1955; Juvenal's Satires, 1959; Selected Epigrams of Martial, ca. 1963. W.H. Auden called Humphries' translation of Virgil's Aeneid "a service for which no public reward could be too great." Humphries is also notable as a mentor to many young poets, including Theodore Roethke. Among his literary friendships were those with Louise Bogan, Edmund Wilson, and Roethke. He taught at many poetry and creative writing workshops, including the University of New Hampshire Writers' Conference and the Writers' Conference in the Rocky Mountains at the University of Colorado. Rolfe Humphries died on April 22, 1969 in Redwood City, California.

Series 5: TRANSLATIONS BY HUMPHRIES, 1940-1969
Series 5, Translations by Rolfe Humphries, 1940-1969, is further organized into the individual volumes of translations. One exception, however, is the F. Garcia Lorca material: since only a small number of the poems in this group are represented in either of Rolfe Humphries' translations of Lorca, the poems are listed alphabetically. Where Spanish original text exists, the Spanish title is listed and underscored; the poems published in The Poet of New York or Gypsy Ballads are marked with one or more asterisks. Correspondence between Humphries, Brickell and Norton, as well as correspondence related to Lorca in general, follow the listing of poems. Reviews follow correspondence. Other (unpublished?) translations have been placed at the end of this series.
THE POET IN NEW YORK, 1940/THE GYPSY BALLADS OF GARCIA LORCA, 1953
Poems from both volumes and also poems not used in either volume are listed alphabetically. Where a Spanish original exists, the Spanish title is given and underscored. Poems appearing in THE POET IN NEW YORK, 1940 are marked with a single asterisk (*) in the description. Poems appearing in THE GYPSY BALLADS OF GARCIA LORCA, 1953 are marked with a double asterisk (**) in the description.
