Williamson (Henry, 1895-1977). English novelist and journalist. A large archive of Henry Williamson’s papers and books, comprising: Dream of Fair Women, notes, typed and in manuscript, with a few single sheets of galley & page proofs, approx. 9 items; The Flax of Dream, typed and manuscript notes, 2 letters from Faber & Faber, signed Dick [probably Richard de la Mare], approx. 9 items; The Gold Falcon, one galley page, one typed, one manuscript; Goodbye West Country, typescript of a number of pages with annotations, a few proof pages, annotated, approx. 36 pp.; Tales of a Devon Village, 16 pp. page proofs, 2 of typescript, all with manuscript notes; The Golden Virgin, typescript (7 pp.) and layout dummy (7 pp. plus blanks) for preliminary pages; The Pathway, typescript of extra matter for p. 412 (old pagination), for new edition, 4 pages typescript with manuscript corrections, boards only of hardback edition with manuscript notes on rear endpaper and pencil map on rear pastedown; Devon Holiday, typed title-page and 4 pp. typescript with manuscript corrections; The Linhay on the Downs from Fortnightly Review, 8 pp. proofs with manuscript corrections; Lyon (Julia Hart, pseud. Ann [Myfanwy] Thomas), Women Must Love, [Faber, 1937], galley proof with manuscript corrections and numerous typed and manuscript corrections by the author and by Henry Williamson in his familiar hand and his often used red ink, lacks sheets 35(a) and 51(a), together with: a small collection of assorted Williamson literary manuscripts and typescripts; financial and literary estate papers including dealing with HMRC, capital gains tax, etc.; correspondence, calculations etc.; a large collection of photocopies made for the Henry Williamson estate from the original manuscripts of several of his books [the originals of these are presumed to be part of the University of Exeter deposits made in 1965 and 1981], plus a box of miscellaneous books from the library of Henry Williamson, a number with his ownership signature and/or owl monogram, including his dictionary and his thesaurus (Quantity: 3 cartons) The corrections to the galley proof of the scarce novel Women Must Love may suggest this was a collaborative effort between Williamson and Thomas. Julia Hart Lyon was a pseudonym for Ann Myfanwy Thomas (1910-2005), daughter of the poet Edward Thomas, secretary and lover of Henry Williamson, with whom she had a child. This is her only novel; she later published a selection of memoirs, One of These Fine Days, 1982.
