Typescript draft of "Ibsen's ghost" by Sir James Matthew Barrie, with corrections and revisions in the hand of the author.

 Item
Identifier: MS.6645
Scope and Contents

"Ibsen's ghost" was the first play written entirely by Sir James Matthew Barrie to be publicly performed; it was staged in 1891 at "Toole's Theatre", hence the alternative title given in the typescript, and cancelled, 'or Toole-up-to-date'. It has not been published. Many of the alterations in this draft are in the nature of cuts; in particular the rhyming finale has been cut.

Dates: [1891, or before.]

Dates: [Circa 1913.]

Identifier: MSS.6625-6635

A stemma, with explanatory notes, has been inserted in MS.6625. The drafts are of interest as showing Sir James...

Typescript drafts of ‘The twelve-pound look’ by Sir James Matthew Barrie, with corrections and revisions in the hand of the author.

 Series
Identifier: MSS.6642-6643
Scope and Contents Neither typescript draft is a carbon, and there is no direct relationship between them. MS.6642 appears to be the earlier: the names of the characters differ from those given in MS.6643 and in the printed version as found in ‘The definitive edition of the plays of J M Barrie', page 761, so that 'Sir James Ings' is equivalent to 'Sir Harry Sims', 'Lady Ings' to 'Lady Sims', 'Marion' to 'Kate', and 'Findlater' to 'Tombes'. There must have been at least one corrected version beween MS.6642 and...
