Robert Penn Warren (1905-1989) lived in Kentucky for a relatively short part of his life, but Kentucky remained with him throughout his eighty-four years. Because of close ties with family and friends in south-central Kentucky, his family chose to give his personal library to Western Kentucky University after his death. In presenting the collection to the university, Warren's wife Eleanor Clark said she wanted others to have access to these items because of their "intimate working importance" to Warren.
