The Papers of Charles Glicksberg bear various correspondences, book manuscripts, many journal articles, poetry, literary critiques, and research materials. Quite a bit of the material that appears here is in typescript, other parts of it are in manuscript form. Manuscript items are somewhat more difficult to read and grow worse after Charles Glicksberg was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Glicksberg often reused paper, and many of his writings and notes appear on the backside of student papers, letters, or random scraps of paper. Large portions of the collection are embrittled and should be handled with care
