French Cowboy Country: Camargue, 1944

 Item — Box: 4, Folder: 6

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Series II of the Montague Summers papers consist of Summers' literary manuscripts, notes, records and related documents. The bulk of the series is comprised of complete autograph and typed manuscripts of shorter works, published and unpublished, but includes a significant amount of fragmentary, sometimes unidentified, rough draft material, mostly from Summers' longer works. This series, the largest in the collection, includes many manuscripts of works not described in the two primary bibliographies of Summers' work, including the complete holographic manuscripts of Six Ghost Stories, the anthology of original works by Summers which eventually became The Grimoire. All of the poems described in Subseries A are inferred to have been written around the time of Summers' first publication, Antinous and Other Poems, 1907; none of the poems here appear to have been published. A small amount of manuscript material created by others is also included in this series. Item level descriptions of Summers' literary manuscripts include a page count (using the abbreviations p. and the plural pp.) referring to the number of individual sheets, leaves, or pieces, rather than to the content, i.e., "1 p." may refer to 2 pages of text, front and back.
