Geschiedenis beheer

Bereik en inhoud

The collection consists of letters (1960-1961) written by Hughes to Graham T. Ackroyd. There are also groupings of drafts of Hughes's "Dully Gumption's Addendum", "Fishing at Dawn", "New Moon" and "Out III: Remembrance Day". Additionally, there are drafts and fragments of other works (often on the versos of the previous drafts); several are by Sylvia Plath.

Materiële staat

Directe bron van verwerving

The collection was purchased from the House of El Dieff in July 1966.

Ordening

The works are by Ted Hughes unless otherwise noted. More extensive poetry drafts have been given folder numbers with both sides of each leaf assigned a decimal number. The specific pages of the draft sequence are noted.

The drafts were frequently written on leaves previously used for other works. These unrelated works within the folder (usually on the versos of the leaves) are identified in a separate listing.

The assigned numbering of draft pages are for identification only and do not purport to reflect a chronology.
