Background

Scope and content:

This collection is comprised of two letters. The first letter, dated 1896 and written on British Museum stationary bearing an impression of the British Arms, was written by Garnett to "My dear Forman," regarding a Museum copy of Hero and Leander. Forman is probably Henry Buxton Forman (1842-1917), most famous for his editions of the work of Shelley and Keats. The second letter, not dated, was written by Edmund Gosse of London to "Dear Le Gallienne.", possibly Richard Le Gallienne (1866-1947).

Biographical / historical:

Richard Garnett (1835-1906) was an English man of letters and Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum. Sir Edmund William Gosse (1849-1928) was an English poet and critic. Together they wrote English literature: an illustrated record. (London: Heinemann, 1903-1906. 4 vols.)
