Scope and content
The Dying Gaul and other writings was published by Faber and Faber in 1978, edited with an introduction by Harman Grisewood. It is a sequel to the earlier collection Epoch and Artist also edited by him. It contains fifteen prose pieces dating from the 1930s and early 1940s as well as the 1970s, including a number of pieces which appeared in magazines or newspapers or had been given as radio talks.
The group contains manuscript and typescript drafts of ten of the prose pieces, with drafts of the introduction by Harman Grisewood, and proofs and setting copies. The group does not contain drafts of 'On the difficulties of one writer of Welsh affinity whose language is English', 'Notes of the 1930s', 'An aspect of the art of England', 'The Roland epic and ourselves' or 'A Christmas message'. The material is mostly from Group C.
