James Hanley (1901-1985) was a British playwright and novelist whose books often had seafaring themes, and whose plays included THE INNER JOURNEY and SAY NOTHING. He also co-edited a book on the singer Fyodor Chaliapin. James Hanley died on Nov. 11, 1985, at the age of 84. The James Hanley correspondence to William E. Hunt consists of nine letters from playwright Hanley to director Hunt, spanning April 1966 to April 1967. The central subject of the correspondence is a proposed staging of Hanley's play THE INNER JOURNEY to be adapted and directed by Hunt, but the production was aborted due to the illness of the leading actor.
