Description

Rare hand-edited draft by the 16-year-old Sylvia Plath

Hand-corrected typescript draft for the story "Gramercy Park," six pages, 8.5 x 11, dated 1948. The story begins, "Spring is always a rather difficult time for an old lady like me because it's a kind of opposite mood." Plath has made minor edits in ink and pencil throughout, with the fourth and fifth pages having the most significant revisions. A few editorial interventions in red pencil are also present. In fine condition, with rusty paperclip impressions to top left. Previously sold by Sotheby's as part of the Sylvia Plath estate in 1982.
