Description: | Spiral-bound notebook containing an almost complete manuscript draft of 'The Book Lovers: A Sequence of Love Scenes' chosen and arranged by Leon Garfield (Ward Lock, 1976). The notebook opens at the start of the story, and progresses through to the point where the extract from 'The Devils' by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is introduced into the text. The manuscript only follows the story of the young man and the librarian which forms the framework for introducing the love scenes, with gaps left in the manuscript where each scene is to be inserted. In some places, the extract to be inserted is identified by the name of the author, for example 'Trollope'. The text is quite close to that of the published version, although there is evidence of some revision and redrafting throughout.
A white label has been stuck to the front cover of the notebook, identifying it as '? Library story'. This label is in Vivien Alcock's hand and was probably affixed to the notebook some time after Garfield's death. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | LG/01/17 | Go to resource |
