This collection consists of two typescripts of the "The Ordeal of George Meredith," a biography by Lionel Stevenson (1902-1973)
published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1953. There is an early typescript draft, annotated with the author's handwritten
corrections (Folders 1-8) and a revised final version (Folders 9-26), with handwritten printer and editor marks.
The early draft is arranged in folders based roughly on how the text later appears in chapters in the final version.
