Abstract:

Consists of manuscripts of four works by English novelist William De Morgan.

William De Morgan first gained a reputation making stained glass, glazed pottery, and decorative tiles, working for a time with William Morris. At the age of 67, he embarked on a successful writing career.

The collection consists of manuscripts of four of De Morgan's novels: Somehow Good (1908), It Never Can Happen Again (1909), A Likely Story (1911), and When Ghost Meets Ghost (1914). Generally, these works are represented in typescripts with holograph corrections, though much of the autograph manuscript for A Likely Story is also present.

Arranged alphabetically by title of the novel.
