Modern Novel, undated

This addition to the Robert S. Breen Papers includes biographical materials, correspondence, lecture notes, bibliographic notes, scripts for chamber theatre productions, a draft of Breen's M.A. thesis, and drafts of Breen's book, Chamber Theatre.

Among the biographical materials is a statement on Breen by his long-time collaborator, Wallace Bacon, as well as several certificates and clippings.

The correspondence consists mostly of letters between Breen and his wife, Gertrude, during World War II. Breen served in Europe and many of his letters describe his travels and experiences there. Some of them are quite personal. He was wounded by machine gun fire in February, 1945, and was in the hospital for several months.
