Stuk 22 - Notebook with draft of book reviews and an essay on Shelley by R. C. Trevelyan; many loose drafts of poetry

Exercise book with green cover; 28 ff., lined pages, many blank.
Insertions: 21 single sheets, 5 bifolia; 9 ff. from a single notebook, most still attached but one loose, containing 1 bifolium.

Pages 1-7: review of "Gruach and Britain's Daughter: Two Plays" by Gordon Bottomley [published in 1921]. Pages 8-13: review of book by Bernard Berenson ["Three Essays in Method", published in 1927]. Pages 13-14, review of "Studies: Indian and Islamic" by S. Khuda Bukhsh, published in 1927.

Notebook also used from the back in: on first back page there is a draft of some verse, 'Withdrawn to the gloom of her inmost vave in dark disconsolate anger...', and Neville Lytton's address and telephone number. Next page, list of poems, perhaps for proposed "Collected Poems", with numbers beside them which may indicate the number of pages. Ten pages of essay on Shelley [perhaps the one printed in "Windfalls", 1944].

Many loose sheets and bifolia inserted, with drafts of works by Trevelyan including "The Bride of Dionysus"; "Sisyphus"; "Archilochus on a Lemnian Trireme" [from "Mallow and Asphodel"; the two drafts of this poem are on sheets of Welcombe House notepaper]; "The Thrush's Song", Trevelyan's translation of Catullus 63 ["Attys"].

Also inserted in this book is a grouping of pages from another exercise book, most still bound together, with drafts of "The Rooks" and a long piece of blank verse; these notebook pages also contain a bifolium with extract from "Sisyphus".
