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".
