Content and context

This section contains MSS and TSS probably not by MRJ

King's/PP/MRJ/B contains:

'A Sunday Game'. Anonymous typescript play, with some manuscript corrections in an unidentified hand in ink. The story and the style are strongly reminiscent of 'The Game of Adverbs' by 'F. Anstey' (pseudonym of Thomas Anstey Guthrie (1856 - 1934), who was, for a time at least, a friend of MRJ.
Creator: [?Guthrie, Thomas Anstey].
19 sheets in folder; paper.

1856–1934

'The Newmenides: or: Why Orestes Left Home'. Anonymous typescript of a play, with some passages marked off and some alterations in pencil and ink. The folder bears on the inside the stamp of the University Typewriting Office, 33 Trinity Street. The play is a sporadic version of the 'Eumenides', and its principal satiric target is the Suffragette movement. Found in the folder was a sheet of paper bearing, in MRJ's hand, a draft of nine lines of iambics in dog-Greek concerning gastric disorder and Beauchamp's [sic] powders. This does not appear to be related to the text of the 'Newmenides'.
Creator: Unknown.
26 sheets in envelope; paper.

1862–1936

'The Stone Coffin'. Galley proof of a ghost story to be published in 'The Magdalene College Magazine', Dec. 1913; with one pencil correction and a pencil note by A. F. Scholfield. On stylistic grounds alone this would seem to have been written by A. C. Benson (there is a letter B written in ink at the end, as if to stand as a signature); the nature of the magazine encourages this view.
Creator: [Benson, A. C.].
2 sheets in envelope; paper.

1913

Note of appreciation. Pencil manuscript in an unidentified illiterate hand expressing sentiments appreciative of MRJ's 'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary', 1904.
Creator: Unknown.
1 sheet in envelope; paper.

1904

Tertullian. MS notes found in MRJ's copy of 'Tertullian', which is now in the College library.
Creator: Unknown.
7 sheets; paper.

1700–1940
