- The papers of Leslie Fiedler, noted author and poet, includes early drafts and manuscripts of essays, novels and literary critiques Among Fiedler’s most renowned and controversial works was, Love and Death in the American Novel (1960), where he explored homoerotic and death themes within American and European literature.“He was one of the people who made the University at Buffalo English department of the 1960s and 1970s justifiably world-famous. He continued to give it coherence and weight in the years after he retired because he never went away: he was always around, dealing with graduate students, giving an occasional lecture, being a presence, writing, always writing.”(Bruce Jackson, Jan. 2004)
