Unfortunately there is a gap covering the period of Shelley's death. There are many references to Byron. The latest diary w...

- Title:
- Letters (26), one (A1400, ff. 24-25b) imperfect, from Dante Gabriel Rossetti to A. C. Swinburne, W. M. Rossetti, and John Aldam Heaton; 21 Aug. 1869-March 1870. The letters all concern the preparation of D. G. Rossetti's Poems, 1870, published on 24 April. In 1868 or early 1869 Rossetti seems to have decided to print such poetry as he had written, but to issue it privately. In August 1869 he received the first proofs, and after working on them, had the revisions incorporated in a further set...

- Title:
- Ballads and Sonnets by Dante Gabriel Rossetti; [1871?]-1881. Autograph drafts and fair copies of poems included in, and considered for, Ballads and Sonnets, 1881. Although the poems were composed at various dates between 1869 and 1881, it seems probable that, with the exception of 1407-1409 and 1420, the MSS. were written in 1880-1881 when Rossetti was preparing Ballads and Sonnets, 1881. A3840, 3847, 3848, 3849, 3852, 3857, 3859, 3860 and 3861 may well have once formed part of the same note...
