Article progress[edit]

I started this article a few years ago, when I was using the Profrap username, then expanded it slightly -- I am amazed and impressed to see how it has grown under the energetic influence of the recent contributors! Back in the 1980's, I had been working on a biography of Young, which I ultimately abandoned; I still have an enormous cache of old xeroxes, and a copy of EY's last will and testament. I will look through these to see what I can add -- I may have a photo of somewhere. I also ported an earlier version of this entry to the Citizendium site, where I added a copy of one of her [1] early works; it's PD should anyone want to use it here.

Please continue the good work you've been doing and feel free to rewrite the article. I enjoy your prose style very much and look forward to more of it. Since you are the one who personally reviewed the will, I'll remove the verification needed tag. Viriditas (talk) 07:05, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I love that list of needed tasks and am in a position to help out with them. I recently became fascinated with Ella Young. I’m volunteering on a project to bring her life and influence to modern audiences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Clevelander96 if you still have materials that might be of use to us, please contact me.

I'll have a look at my old files -- wary of Wikipedia policies against original research -- and let you know Clevelander96 (talk) Clevelander96 (talk) 01:44, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working closely with Young's biographer, Dorothea McDowell. I will be correcting a few factual errors in the article, and adding more information about her life in California. Rosewoodcrow (talk) 14:55, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are you still interested in Ella Young? I work with a team who are republishing her works and promoting her legacy. We will be updating this page. You may have material we don't, and could post it. See our work at EllaYoung.org. Rosewoodcrow (talk) 09:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1931 visa controversy[edit]

I wonder in what sense she filled a chair at UC-Berkeley. Perhaps the previous chair left UBC in 1922 but she was hired as a visiting lecturer.

The Sun of Baltimore 1931-03-22 reports from Washington in page-one story "Irish Fairy Teller Is Banned" that SF friends "many of them wealthy" and her publisher had protested to the US consul in Victoria re her economic means; the UCB English department and Minnesota libraries and children librarians had protested to Secretary of State Stimson re her cultural value. As yet the State Dept supported the Consul's judgment. Quoting the newspaper, "the applicant as supposed to have a large amount of cash or else a contract showing definite employment in the United States." Also, she left "California last October because of the constant irritation of getting her temporary visitor's visa renewed every six months." --P64 (talk) 20:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1939 Horn Book special issue[edit]

Anne T. Eaton of NY Herald Tribune, in review of children's books notes that The Horn Book Magazine May-June 1939 is a special issue honoring Young. Contents include Padraic Colum, "Ella Young: A Druidess", on her writings according to Eaton. --P64 (talk) 21:01, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
