Description: | Manuscript and typescript drafts of poems by Doherty for both adults and children. The drafts are in various stages of development, and several successive drafts can be found for many of the poems in the file. In some cases, poems have been dated by Doherty and information is given about first publication. The file includes drafts for 35 of the poems published in Doherty's anthology 'Walking on Air' and five of the poems published in 'Big Bulgy Fat Black Slugs'. In addition, the poems 'Yggdiasal', 'Eel' and 'Snake' seem to have influenced 'The Vinegar Jar' [see also BD/01/09] and are incorporated, in prose form, in the text of the novel at various points.
The drafts are arranged alphabetically according to title or first line where no title is given, with different versions of the same poem grouped together. A full index of the drafts in each file can be found at file level. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | BD/05/01 | Go to resource |
