Scope and content

A notebook containing copies of forty-one poems by Dorothy Bonarjee, [1913]-[20 cent., second ¼], numbered by her 1-11, 13-41 (a final poem, 'The Lights', is possibly No. 42; No. 12 is a blank page).
The poems are mostly manuscript, typescript and printed copies pasted into the volume; the remaining few are written directly into the volume (Nos 24, 30, 37, [42]). Thirteen of the poems (Nos 1, 4-7, 9-10, 18, 21, 24, 35, 38-39) were published in The Dragon (1913-1917) and The Welsh Outlook (1914-1919), while thirty-one (Nos 1-4, 6-10, 14-[16], 19-24, 26-29, 31-32, 36-[42]) appear in The Hindu Bard (2023). There are miscellaneous memoranda in French and English inside the covers.
