| Description: |
| Approximately 16 pages of Miller's holograph notes about The Rosy Crucifixion, Miller's paean to his second wife, June, written during the planning stages of the project, which spanned many years - he picked it up and put it down many times. Accompanied by 3-pp. carbon typescript of corrections in text of Plexus (English Lang. Ed.) published by the Olympia Press, Paris. |
| The notes include quotes Miller planned to use (including a number from Dostoyevsky, whose writing June adored), character studies for Bernie (3 pages), one card on which is written (in part): "Female Charaters: Louise Ashley (Alma Reardon) use in throw-back with negro - bicycle store - boarder. Margaret Heller (Sadie Lester) throw-back - Uncle Harry's garage, Hermann Dircks - courting and tragic conversation 30 years later! Clinton Street after June's return from Europe! Dewar & his girl, O'Reagan & water colors..." and with a wonderful 15x19¾ chart of all of the characters in the trilogy, each written in thick black ink, and who they represent, with June as Electra Annapolis in the center. An important set of notes detailing the planning of Miller's famous trilogy, published in 1949 (Sexus), 1952 (Plexus), and 1959 (Nexus). |
| Condition: |
| A bit of yellowing and a few small stains to verso of chart, few short tears; else very good. |
