SCCS Edited Extracts: Four groups of edited extracts from Olive Schreiner's letters can be accessed from here, made by her estranged husband Cronwright-Schreiner as part of him preparing The Life... and The Letters of Olive Schreiner for publication. They are: extracted letters appearing in The Life, handwritted Extracts of Letters to SCCS, extracted letters in The Letters for which no originals are extant, and type scripted extracts of letters to W.T. Stead. They consist of some large but mainly small and sometimes very small extracts. Among them are just a few items in Olive Schreiner's own writing. The vast majority are in Cronwright-Schreiner's handwriting or in typescripts made and extensively edited and changed by him. Following this, he destroyed the original letters. Consequently, for the very large majority, no manuscript source now exists (where there are surviving manuscripts, they appear as part of Schreiner's letters in the relevant collections). These four sets of extracts are consequently the product of Cronwright-Schreiner's editorial practices and bear an unknown relationship to Schreiner's letters as she originally wrote them. However, in all cases where Cronwright-Schreiner's renditions can be compared with surviving original letters, his versions contain inaccuracies, omissions, or even bowdlerisations. Caution should therefore used in referring to any of the extracts, which have been made available for the sake of completeness.

SCCSTheLettersRemaining: NLSA Cape Town, Special Collections. This set of Cronwright-Schreiner extracts are of letters which appear in The Letters of Olive Schreiner, and regarding which there are typescripts made by him in the NLSA collections. They are included here for the sake of completeness. However, when surviving original letters can be compared, these show that Cronwright-Schreiner often changed or even bowdlerised in producing his versions. Considerable caution should therefore be used in referring to their content.: Letters/1: To Mrs. R. Cawood. , Victoria Hotel, Cradock, 5th May., I don't know when I felt more lonely in my life. I wish you were here...
SCCSTheLife: NLSA Cape Town, Special Collections. A number of nearly complete Schreiner letters appear in The Life of Olive Schreiner. These are included here for the sake of completeness. However, as the originals were destroyed by Cronwright-Schreiner, the extent to which he has edited and changed content cannot by gauged. Where any originals survive, they indicate a range of changes by him, and so caution should be exercised in referring to content.: Life/4: During the last six weeks I have been very unhappy, not knowing whether to answer your letters on political matters or not. W...; Life/3: Yes, Chapman & Hall did send my MS. back to me, and Chapman asked me to call and see him. When I came he said he wanted t...; Life/2: May I state there is no foundation for this statement.

SCCSTheLife: NLSA Cape Town, Special Collections. A number of nearly complete Schreiner letters appear in The Life of Olive Schreiner. These are included here for the sake of completeness. However, as the originals were destroyed by Cronwright-Schreiner, the extent to which he has edited and changed content cannot by gauged.

This set of Cronwright-Schreiner extracts are of letters which appear in The Letters of Olive Schreiner, and regarding which there are typescripts made by him in the NLSA collections. They are included here for the sake of completeness. However, when surviving original letters can be compared, these show that Cronwright-Schreiner often changed or even bowdlerised in producing his versions.

This set of Cronwright-Schreiner extracts are of letters which appear in The Letters of Olive Schreiner, and regarding which there are typescripts made by him in the NLSA collections.
