Untitled typescripts beginning "What, then, is the duty of Christians in dealing with the 'Jewish problem?'" by Dorothy L. Sayers, ca. 1943
Two rough typescript drafts of the same essay (pp. 1-36 and 37-58), with edits hand-written in the margins by the author. The first 20 pages of each are substantially the same, with variation between page 8 and pages 57-58. Sayers referred to this as a “second/practical portion” of her essay submission. Her editor, Lynx, referred to it as “MS No. 2” and asked for revisions. This corresponds with Dorothy L. Sayers Manuscripts collection: MS-96 and MS-97 58pp.
Untitled typescript beginning "God, like every other objective reality, is perceived by man in four dimensions" by Dorothy L. Sayers, ca. 1943
Two rough typescript drafts of the same essay (pp. 1-26 and 27-52) which are substantially the same, with edits hand-written in the margins by the author. Sayers referred to this as a “first/bedrock portion” of her essay submission. Her editor, Lynx, referred to it as “MS No. 1” and dismissed it as “too highbrow and too difficult to understand.” This corresponds with Dorothy L. Sayers Manuscripts collection: MS-98. 52pp.
