Corrected typescript of an unpublished novel by Sydney Goodsir Smith, titled, 'Bottled Peaches ... by Agamemnon Culpeper'., 1936.
Scope and Contents
Born in New Zealand and educated in England, Sydney Goodsir Smith's first poems were in English, but he began writing in Scots in about 1940 and published several volumes of poetry. He also wrote for the stage, radio and television, as well as editing works of Robert Burns and Robert Fergusson. All these interests are reflected in his papers, but his work as an art critic survives in only a few fragmentary items.
