Found 1 collection related to English poetry -- 19th century

The Elizabeth Barrett Browning manuscript material in the Pforzheimer Collection consists of writings and correspondence. Among the writings are a presentation inscription in a copy of her The Battle of Marathon and two holograph poems: a fair copy of "The Dead Pan" and the fair copy of "The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point" used by the printer of her Poems (1850) and annotated by Robert Browning. The twenty pieces of correspondence date between 1834 and 1857 and deal mostly with her personal and social life, including opinions on her contemporaries and their writings. Several letters written in 1844 and 1845 discuss the composition and reception of Poems (1844), the first collected edition of her poetry, and her ambitions as a poet. Correspondents include: Hugh Stuart Boyd, Greek scholar, and his wife, Ann Lowry Boyd; Sara Jane Cockayne-Cust (former married name Streatfeild, née Cookson); Ellen Heaton, art collector and philanthropist; Richard H. Horne, writer; Edward Moxon, publisher and poet; and Clementia Taylor, women's rights activist. less
