Description

Summary

Autograph manuscripts of 22 of the 34 poems published in MUSIC AND MOONLIGHT, POEMS AND SONGS, 1874. Also included is "The Song of Aloe" a lyric complete in itself, but included in the long title poem. The collection is rich in interest to the student of poetic composition by virtue of its inclusion of a large number of successive drafts of the same poem, most of them with corrections. Also, sixteen autograph letters by Eleanor Marston O'Shaughnessy written to Arthur O'Shaughnessy before and after their marriage, and to other correspondents.

Arrangement

Cataloged.
