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.

Recipient: Watts-Dunton, Theodore
Letters: 289
Date(s): 24 Sep 1872 - 11 Mar 1882
Location: BC MS 19c Rossetti. In seven volumes
Note: An interesting collection of letters relating chiefly to the production and sale of Rossetti's pictures, his financial embarrassments and domestic difficulties. Included is a series of letters, and transcripts of poems concerned with the writings of Thomas Chatterton, from whose poems Watts-Dunton was preparing a selecion for Ward's "English Poets". These were written in May and June, 1880, and much criticism is indulged in by their writer. There are references to Keats and Coleridge, and Christopher Smart of whom Rossetti says: "It may be remembered that Christopher Smart wrote his Song to David (when made, or supposed to be) in 1763; a poem with far more sterling English pith than anything else so early in that era".
