The
Charles D. Blend Collection
Professor Charles D. Blend
(1918-1971) was Chairperson of the Michigan State
University Department of Romance Languages. He was the
author of Andre Malraux Tragic Humanist (Ohio
State University Press, 1965). Malraux said of this book
that he thought it was the finest book on his views in
the English language. Rhoda Penlington was formerly the
wife of Professor Blend, and she therefore inherited the
books upon the death of her former husband.
About two-thirds of the
donated volumes were in French--literature, criticism,
existentialism, etc.--of the period 1930-1971. Most
notable are the books and articles by or about Malraux.
Most of the books printed in English covered the same
period of literary criticism and politics. There were
also books on art, anthropology, ideology, mountain
climbing, etc. in the donation.
