- Scope & content
- File consists of typescript draft with manuscript notes of Grasshopper Soup: Philosophical Essays on Games by Bernard Suits. Grasshopper Soup is a collection of essays, some of which appeared elsewhere, that serves as a sequel to "The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia." Essays from this collection are present elsewhere in the fonds both individually and collected under the title "Return of the Grasshopper: Further Reflections on Games, Life and Utopia." Neither manuscript was ever published as a collection under either title. An Acknowledgements section at the front of each manuscript outlines where previously published essays appeared. It reads: "Some of these essays have appeared, in whole or in part, elsewhere. Chapter One is a somewhat revised writing of the concluding essay in Utopias, Gerald Duckworth & Co. Ltd., 1984. Some of the material in Chapters Three and Four is taken from "McBride and Paddie on The Grasshopper," Journal of the Philosophy of Sport, 1981; Chapter Six is substantially the same as "Is Life a Game We are Playing?" Ethics, 1967 (Copyright 1967 by the University of Chicago); Chapter Seven is an expanded version of an article which first appeared in Dialogue, 1982, under its present title; and Chapter Eight, "The Detective Story: a Case Study of Games in Literature," was published in The Canadian Review of Comparative Literature, 1985. Grateful acknowledgement is made to the publishers for permission to include that material here."
