Am finding this a very challenging solve but after some bursts of light am left with NW quadrant and have ground to halt. A hint on 1d 'Scores of sheep after shearing left to sit awkwardly (6)' would be very welcome. NB clue may be wordplay only; if not then will have misprint in definition. Thanks!

Tricky grid fill but got there. Can't summon the brainpower to identify the original literary work nor find the second work in the grid. Hint to the latter appreciated.

I don't submit.

I got the second work simply by treating the grid as a wordsearch. Reading horizontally, 99% of it can be seen...
