Titus Awakes

Titus Awakes is an early working title applied to a novel planned by Mervyn Peake about 1960, before he became too ill to write.

[3] In the 1970s Peake's widow, Maeve Gilmore, wrote a modified version of Titus Awakes to which she gave the title Search Without End.

[1] They consist of three pages from which it is clear that although Titus has left the castle, Gormenghast remains active in his memory and important in the story.

[6] Winnington (2011)'s ventures the opinion that Gilmore's manuscript Search Without End that he had been given earlier had been redacted from its original to remove dependence on back-references to the Gormenghast trilogy.

[2] Early in 2010 Sebastian Peake announced that his daughter had found Maeve Gilmore's notebook manuscripts of Titus Awakes in the family's attic.
