The Agent

The series comprises manuscript and typescript drafts of 'The Agent'.
David Jones writes about 'The Agent' in a letter to Harman Grisewood in 1962, stating that he is trying to 're-write a thing I did in 1940 (or thereabouts) about a conversation between Judas and Caiaphas'.

The Book of Balaam's Ass

The series comprises manuscript and typescript drafts of 'The Book of Balaam's Ass'.
Part of Balaam's Ass was printed in The Sleeping Lord. David Jones began working on 'Balaam's Ass' before In Parenthesis was ready for the press, but he abandoned the project.

Material used

The series comprises material actually published in Dai Greatcoat, including copies of David Jones' letters, drafts and settings copies of the book, and related material.

Final manuscript drafts

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.
