Shane Leslie, English biographer and poet, has been appointed Rosenbach fellow in bibliography at the University of Pennsylvania for the academic year 1933-34.
The fellowship was established by Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, eminent antiquarian and scholar, because of “the steadily increasing interest in bibliography”. The chair was first awarded in 1931 to Christopher Morley, essayist and newspaperman. In 1932, Dr. Lawrence C. Wroth, of the John Carter Brown Library of Brown University, held the fellowship and will shortly publish a collection of essays delivered during his incumbency entitled “An American Bookshelf, 1755.”
