Notes of Ian Rankin relating to the development of the plot and characters for ‘The Hanging Garden’. , 1991-1996.
Scope and Contents
The notes include research and working notes as well as editorial notes of Rankin. The notes relate to plot and character development and revisions for various drafts. The distinction between the notes and drafts is often unclear. Also included are research notes on specific locations, war crimes, and Nazis. Some notes have been revisited and subsequently annotated by Rankin as his development of the novel progressed. Most of the notes are undated and, as such, the arrangement has been suggested by a comparison of changes in plot and theme.
Folios 76-77 contain sensitive content.
