Scope and content
A typescript, ?1928, containing six chapters which were deleted from the final proof of John Cowper Powys's novel Wolf Solent (1929). Powys summarised these chapters in a revised Chapter 19, but with significant events omitted. The manuscript of these six chapters is at Syracuse University Library, New York. The typescript was made by Ms Boyne Grainger, a neighbour of John Cowper Powys in New York, from the holograph manuscript pages now at Syracuse University.
Provenance for the typescript may be established from The Powys Journal Volume XXXI (2021) Supplement: Wolf Solent, The Six Deleted Chapters, available on JSTOR at https://www.jstor.org/journal/powysj. I am indebted to Mr Kevin Taylor, editor of The Powys Journal, for this updated information.
