Biographical/Historical Note

Originally housed in his Park Avenue apartment, the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library moved to a suite in midtown Manhattan after Pforzheimer's death in 1957. There, Kenneth Neill Cameron, leading Shelley scholar of the time,continued his work as editor of the multi-volume Shelley and His Circle publication, years later followed by DonaldH. Reiman. Mihai Handrea, hired as librarian in 1970, became the first curator of The Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle (a portion of the much larger Pforzheimer Library) when it moved to the New York Public Library in 1986.
