Various typescripts

Sandars, N. K. (Nancy K.)

Virgil Society Papers

The file comprises material relating to the Virgil Society, almost entirely consisting of printed papers and presidential addresses and of typescript summaries of lectures, with nine pamphlets.

Wales and Religion

The series comprises a collection of manuscripts by David Jones which Harman Grisewood has sorted into eight folders entitled 'Wales and Religion' and 'Religion and Wales'. They were written either as essays or letters to the press, or possibly both (see the note by Harman Grisewood in file LO2/1 explaining the difficulties of sorting these papers further). The drafts are written mainly in pencil, black biro and ink, on a variety of paper, with many corrections and alterations. Most are undated, with only four folios with the folowing dates: 1957, 1962, 1966, 1968. Many of the pages are numbered by David Jones . Most of file 2 appears to be letters to the Editor of The Tablet. File 7 includes a draft letter on the foundations of the Church in Wales and the vernacularisation of the liturgy. File 8 includes an article on early Christianity in Wales.

Grisewood, Harman, 1906-1997

Wales and the Crown

The file comprises fourteen pages of manuscript of the complete essay, which was written as a talk for a Welsh Home Service broadcast on July 23rd 1953. The file also includes two copies of the broadcast script showing David Jones's corrections made soon after the broadcast, and a covering letter from Sheed and Ward dated June 1954.

Wales and the Crown

The file comprises two scripts of 'Wales and the Crown' (see Epoch and Artist, pp. 39-48), a talk by David Jones broadcast on 23 July 1953. One copy has extensive manuscript additions and alterations in David Jones's hand.

'Wales through the ages'

The file comprises twenty-four scripts of 'Wales Through the Ages, II', a BBC Welsh Home Service talks series, 1959-1960 (not a complete set), with a covering letter, dated 19 November 1959 from Aneirin Talfan Davies which refers to Vera Bassett.

Davies, Aneirin Talfan

Welsh culture

The series comprises a manuscript draft of the letter. This letter to the Editor of The Catholic Herald, 9 September 1948, seems not to have been sent, and remained unpublished.

Welsh history

The file comprises manuscript drafts of writings relating to Wales, its history, language and literature. These drafts reflect David Jones's great interest in Welsh history and should be compared with the appendix to his 'Introduction to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. Most of these drafts appear to be of letters to private correspondents, and some can be seen from David Jones's pagination to be of writings of some length.

Welsh periodicals

The file includes ten pamphlets, including The Anglo-Welsh Review, Vol. 9, No. 24; Agenda, July 1960, September-October 1961 (2 copies), February-March 1962, May-June 1962 and September-October 1962 (2 copies); Dock Leaves, Spring 1956, and a signed copy of 'Requiem for a Poet ' by Raymond Garlick, a Dock Leaves Pamphlet (No. 1), 1953. David Jones designed the lettering for the title page of Agenda, which was edited by William Cookson.

Garlick, Raymond

Welsh Poetry

The file comprises numerous manuscript drafts of 'Welsh Poetry' (see Epoch and Artist, pp. 56-65), a review of, or rather an article arising from, The Burning Tree by Gwyn Williams (London, 1956).

Welsh Poetry

The file comprises a manuscript draft of an article by David Jones about early Welsh poetry arising from The Burning Tree by Gwyn Williams (London, 1956). This article eventually took shape as 'Welsh Poetry' (see Epoch and Artist, pp. 56-65), but little of the material to be found in these drafts appears to correspond to any part of the published text.

Welsh Poetry

The file comprises manuscript drafts of an article first published in The Tablet, 1957, as an article about The Burning Tree, an anthology of Welsh texts and translations edited by Professor Gwyn Wiliams.
