Letters: 1

Sender: Rossetti, Dante Gabriel

Recipient: Rossetti, William Michael

Letters: 121

Date(s): 23 Apr 1853 - 2 Feb 1882

Location: BC MS 19c Rossetti. In three volumes

Note: A most interesting and highly important collection of letters chiefly dealing with Rossetti's work and his domestic affairs. He refers to the printing of his "Italian Poets" and also to his sister Christina's famous poem, "Goblin Market" which he had asked Ruskin to send to the Cornhill. This had been returned, and Rossetti proposed sending it to Mrs Gaskell. He writes to his brother:

"It is with very great regret and disgust that I enclose

a note from Ruskin about Christina's poems - most

senseless I think. I have told him something of the

sort in my answer ... I have some idea (with C.'s

approval) of sending the Goblins to Mrs Gaskell, who is

good natured and appreciative and might get it into the

Cornhill or elsewhere ..."

Rossetti also makes interesting references to the artist Millais, Swinburne and his work on William Blake, Ruskin's lectures, Philip Bourke Marston, Watts-Dunton, William Morris and other notable people of the period.
