A LONG-lost manuscript of a famous Glasgow book has been discovered gathering dust in the late author’s home.
Now Archie’s Hind’s masterpiece, The Dear Green Place, has been donated to the University of Strathclyde’s archives where it will have pride of place in plans to celebrate the writer’s centenary in 2028.
The typewritten, annotated manuscript runs to more than 200 pages and was donated to Strathclyde’s archives by Hind’s family, after one family member was clearing out while preparing to move abroad. “The manuscript of his famous novel has often assumed to be lost, or perhaps burned, so imagine our excitement when we discovered that not only was the manuscript still in existence, but also many other significant papers relating to his life and work.
“It has therefore been a real privilege to spend time with Archie’s family over the past year and to find out more about the context of his life and work.” “This would have been such a shame as there were some very interesting bits and pieces. Dr Bell was the first person we approached who responded with genuine enthusiasm, interest and curiosity.
In his review in this newspaper, Jack House, widely known as"Mr Glasgow", wrote: “I think that we have a real Glasgow novelist in the making here. He loves Glasgow but sees the city clearly.”
