Scope and Content

Typescript drafts, [1915x1917], of twenty-three poems by Edward Thomas with collation of texts by R. George Thomas (ff. i-vi). They include two copies of ['Words'], one marked 'unamended' (ff. 34-7), and of 'Lob', one marked 'unrevised' (ff. 38-45), and a copy of 'The Combe' (f. 2) signed 'Edward Eastaway'. The typescripts are working copies used by the poet for revision when selecting poems for inclusion in Poems published in 1917 under the pseudonym 'Edward Eastaway'. Nine of the poems were included in that volume.
