The Ella Julia Reynolds fonds consists of nine poems and one letter by her to D.W. Barr of the Toronto Theosophical Society. These manuscripts are typewritten with holograph corrections. Her letter to D.W. Barr, dated June 26, 1963, concerns the publication of Samson in Hades, including a discussion of her concept behind writing the poems. In the letter she states: "I am sending you under seperate cover a little book of verse, together with some loose sheets, a few of which may interest you."

Reynolds, Ella Julia : Journalist, poet and author, Ella Julia Reynolds was born in Hamilton, Ontario in 1881, the only daughter of Robert and May Reynolds. From 1912 to 1945 she worked as a journalist for The Hamilton Spectator. In addition to writing drama and music reviews, in 1923 she inaugurated and edited a Saturday book column entitled "Under the Study Lamp," which she continued until her retirement. She also wrote a weekly column called "The Wren's Nest." Both of these columns were composed under the pseudonym Jennie Wren.

In 1920, she was the first woman in Hamilton to sit on a civic board as the city's council appointee to the Public Library Board. She served on the Board for nearly six years and was chairman between 1923 and 1924. She was also the first president of the Hamilton chapter of the Canadian Women's Press Club, formed in 1927. Her only known publication is a small chapbook of poetry called Samson in Hades, published in 1957 by Ryerson Press. A slim volume, it contains only four poems. The book appears under review in Vol. 12 of the Collected Works of Northrop Frye, published by the University of Toronto Press. Reynolds died in 1980.

Note générale :

The poems here are most likely unpublished, as they are not the same as the ones included in Samson in Hades. According to her letter to D.W. Barr, the four poems in the chapbook were drawn from "about 25 poems" that Lorne Pierce (head of Ryerson Press at the time) had asked to see. Perhaps the poems contained here were among those 25 or so poems she had sent to Dr. Pierce.

In the same letter, Reynolds explains her rationale for selecting and sending these poems to D.W. Barr: "I find in writing that though I believe whole-heartedly in theosophy, the old terms of my orthodox days will crop out -- the language seems so familiar, as I knew it all the years of childhood and youth. However, I thought perhaps there might be something that would show you my sincere adherence to the principles of karma and reincarnation, which I have accepted long ago. You have been very gracious in helping me with the booklets, hence the gift."

Historique de la conservation :

The Ella Julia Reynolds fonds was acquired by the Rare Books and Manuscripts Division of the former National Library of Canada in January 1989. The former record states that the contents of her fond were "acquired with a copy of her book."
