Beatrice Kean Seymour (1886-1955) was a British author, whose works include Invisible Tides (1919), But Not For Love (1930), and The Happier Eden (1937).
The Beatrice Kean Seymour Papers consist of the original manuscript of her novel The Happier Eden (1937), inscribed on the first page by Seymour, "First draft--begun at Headley, Hampshire, 10th July 1936." It is heavily revised and corrected with extra passages added. The collection also contains three letters, two of which relate to the manuscript and one about the break-up of her marriage.
