Scope and content

Drafts of unpublished poems and prose pieces, [1921x1934], by Phyllis Playter, including a story in French entitled 'Voyage à l'infini' (f. 1-14), five chapters of a story entitled 'Mrs Telfair's Companion' (ff. 53-76), and a fragment of a poem called 'Cimmeria' (ff. 77-78), together with what purports to be the first chapter of John Cowper Powys's novel The Inmates (1952) (ff. 86-8), though Playter's text does not tally with the corresponding section of the published work. The items were preserved by Playter in an envelope marked 'Precious, Precious'. Inserted into the papers are original manuscript and photocopied notes on the material by Morine Krissdottir.
