Bookseller Notes

Mary's papers came onto the market quite unexpectedly in July 1977, and were bought by the Trustees of Dove Cottage as the result of a successful public appeal the following March. The poet and his wife are shown in an entirely new light, and their love-letters bear comparison in their vivid quality with any in the language.
