Auden and Randall Jarrell, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (2008), the collection is cataloged and stabilized. We are now working to digitize all volumes containing marginalia, a project that is freely shared with the international scholarly community in order to expand the rich contemporary dialogue on Arendt\u2019s significant contribution to public discourse.
