Previously unpublished Tennessee Williams draft centers on writers D.H. Lawrence and Katherine Mansfield
A new section of an unpublished play by writer Tennessee Williams will be published in 2015.聽
Gerri Kimber, a senior lecturer at the University of Northampton, wrote for the UK鈥檚 that she found 10 pages of a work by Williams at the University of Texas at Austin. The play did not have a title but the first section was titled 鈥淭he Night of the Zeppelin鈥� and the second was named 鈥淎rmistice.鈥� The characters were writer D.H. Lawrence, his wife Frieda, and authors Katherine Mansfield, which Williams spells 鈥淜atharine,鈥� and John Middleton Murry.
鈥淭he play is listed in 鈥楾ennessee Williams: A bibliography鈥櫬燽y Drewey Wayne Gunn as one of the holdings in Texas, and Margaret Bradham Thornton refers to it in a footnote in聽鈥楾ennessee Williams: Notebooks,鈥欌�� Kimber wrote for the Times Literary Supplement. 鈥淏ut the play seems never to have been discussed by scholars until now鈥�. Never having been published, this piece has been almost entirely forgotten. Mansfield scholars will appreciate the fact that Tennessee Williams centred the scene 鈥淭he Night of the Zeppelin鈥� on her character, and relish this connection to an iconic American writer.鈥�
According to , the entire version will be published in 鈥淜atherine Mansfield Studies鈥� in 2015.
