Cleverdon, Douglas
The series includes two broadcast scripts of In Parenthesis which was adapted for radio and produced by Douglas Cleverdon. It was broadcast four times on the BBC Third Progamme, together with specially composed music by Elizabeth Poston. The first broadcast script is for 1942 and the second [1946]. The series also includes a manuscript and typescript copy of David Jones' introduction to the broadcast, [1946] and [1964]. Also there is a script of a programme about Welsh poetry, 1943, in which a selection of In Parenthesis was read. There are cover notes by Harman Grisewood in each file. See also David Blamires, David Jones: Artist and Writer, 1971 p. 112.
Cleverdon, Douglas
The series comprises material relating to some or all of the fragments published in The Sleeping Lord, including manuscript drafts, galley proofs and page proofs, instructions to printers, an introduction to a reading, and a review.
The series consists of early manuscript drafts of In Parenthesis, parts I-VII, with fragments of earliest draft pp.1-6, and notes.
The series consists of final manuscript drafts of In Parenthesis parts I-VII, with dedication, prologue, preface, notes, and miscellaneous fragments.-- A complete draft of In Parenthesis, completed at Pigotts 18 Aug. 1932. Portions of Part I and Part II are typescript, carried over from an earlier draft. The remainder is in manuscript. There are substantial additions, sometimes involving the rewriting of complete pages or runs of pages, the earlier versions being discarded, and much revision. Much of the rewriting and revision was very likely after 1932. -- Insertions at the end of Part VII do not appear in the 1935 typing, they were made presumably before David Jones had received the typescript. Others may also have been made after the draft had been sent for typing, but in time for the typist to include them. -- The preface is dated Sidmouth, Christmas 1935. Although the text of this draft is very close indeed to that of the first typescript, the typescript must be derived from a lost intermediate source, probably a fair copy of the present draft rather than a typescript.
The file comprises bank statements, cheques and cheque book stubs, receipts and invoices, income tax returns, correspondence with Ethel Watts, David Jones' accountant, and papers relating to the Bollinger foundation, and Sir Kenneth M Clark's Trust. David Jones kept all his receipts, invoices, cheques and bank statements in order for his accountant to calculate his tax returns.
The series comprises manuscript and typescript drafts of various autobiographical writings, collected together by Harman Grisewood while preparing the article published as 'In illo tempore'.
