Strachey (Lytton) The Fruit of the Tree, autograph manuscript short story, 9ff. written on one side only, signed at foot, original blank wrappers with title to upper cover, some foxing, folio, [Trinity College, Cambridge], June 4th 1901. ⁂ Unpublished short story by the 21 year-old Strachey, describing an adolescent passion for an older boy and parodying the writing style of Henry James. "He was perpetually magnificent, eternally superb; he soared. I, as I came upon him, found him like a mine, inexhaustible and glittering, before me, and felt, as I plunged deeper and deeper into his gorgeous recesses, all the joys of an intimate and an unending discovery." Strachey wrote the story a few days after sitting the first part of his History Tripos at the end of May 1901. The subject of the story was likely derived from his two teenage infatuations which proved formative for the young writer and "formed the pattern of much of his adult love-life." (Michael Holroyd, Lytton Strachey by Himself: A Self Portrait).SRN: This item was published in The Really Interesting Question and Other Papers in 1972.
