Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
In the 1970s, Burgess was commissioned to write the screenplay for a television mini-series based on the life of Michelangelo and produced by Radiotelevisione Italiana (RAI). In the second part of his autobiography, "You've Had Your Time" (1990), Burgess recalls that, although the series was eventually made, he never saw it.
Arrangement
Burgess's original arrangement of these records (if any existed) had been disrupted over time, which had resulted in various different drafts of the screenplay becoming intermingled. An attempt has been made to restore the original order by identifying similarities in paper and typeface. Where such similarities exist, records have been grouped together.
