Item 13 - Notebook with draft of R. C. Trevelyan's "The Birth of Parsival", part of Act III, and other works

1 notebook with blue marbled soft cover. Lined [now very faint] pages, 22ff. Bifolium and three (originally two before separation along fold line) sheets of paper as inserts. Several pages blank.

Scene from play on the Oedipus myth, presumably by Trevelyan; set at Jocasta's deathbed and after Oedipus's self-blinding [4r-12r]. Loose bifolium with scene by Trevelyan set on the banks of Lethe, as Aidoneus [Hades] attempts to persuade the 'Shades' of the human dead to drink from its waters and cross to his realm, while Prometheus remains lost in thought before rousing himself to address them. Second insert at the back end of the book: two sheets (one now separated into two along fold line) as insert, with poem about Orpheus.

Working backwards from the rear of the book, 'continuation' of Act III of Trevelyan's "The Birth of Parsifal" [22r-19r]

28/11, 29/14, 30/7, 30/20 and 31/6: other notebooks with drafts from "The Birth of Parsival".
