THE CONTRIBUTORS: LEONARD BACON, poet and essayist, who has been close to The Saturday Review since its start, is a resident of Peacedale, Rhode Island. He won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry last year for his volume of verse, "Sunderland Capture." His previous books include "Rhyme and Punishment," "Dream and Action," and "The Voyage of Autoleon.".

DOROTHY CANFIELD FISHER was born in Kansas, attended schools in the Midwest and East, in addition to a period of study abroad, and eventually settled down in Vermont, of which she is now a confirmed and enthusiastic resident. She is the author of some two dozen books, among them "Seasoned Timber," "The Deepening Stream," "Rough Hewn," "Bonfire," and "The Day of Glory.".

ELLERY SEDGWICK's name is a landmark not only in New England but in the history of American magazines. He was editor of The Atlantic Monthly for thirty years; before that he was editor of Leslie's Magazine and The American Magazine. He was born in New York City and became a New Englander by adoption, now living in Boston.

WILLIAM LYON PHELPS, whose name is synonymous with Yale University and New Haven, has been teaching English literature for a cool half century. Billy tells all in his "Autobiography with Letters," published in 1939. Before that he had published some twenty-four books, most of them works of criticism on literature and the drama. Billy was born in New Haven and, of course, still lives there.

MARION CANBY, the wife of Henry S. Canby, is well known to the readers of The Saturday Review of Literature, to which she has contributed poems and reviews, particularly of young people's books.

ROBERT T. TRISTRAM COFFIN, Pulitzer Prize poet, still lives in Brunswick, Maine, where he was born. He was a Rhodes scholar, and has taught English at several American universities. At Wells College he was largely responsible for founding the Oxford idea of honor work in English literature. The book of verse for which he, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize is "Strange Holiness" (1936).

WITTER BYNNER, son of a New England newspaper editor, graduate of Harvard University, and long resident in the East, has transplanted himself and his heritage to our Southwest. Before his departure, he was assistant editor of McClure's Magazine and literary adviser to two publishing houses in the East. He is the author of a goodly number of plays and poems. A volume of his "Selected Poems" appeared in 1936.

W. T. SCOTT is the literary editor of The Providence Journal. He has also contributed literary criticism and reviews to various magazines.

LAWRENCE SARGENT HALL moved recently from a post in the Department of English at Ohio University to the Office of Strategic Services in Washington. At present he is serving with the United States Navy.

VAN WYCK BROOKS comes as close to being the official chronicler of literary New England as it is possible for any writer to be. The first two volumes in his monumental project on New England were "The Flowering of New England" and "New England: Indian Summer." Mr, Brooks lives in Westport. Conn.
