Four Notebooks of Dante Gabriel Rossetti; 1871-1881. The books contain many notes for, and drafts of, lines, couplets and stanzas of poems printed in Ballads and Sonnets, 1881, and Poems, 1881, but no complete poems, with the exception of a draft of 'The Lamp's Shrine' (book (1), ff. 26-27). In addition they contain many fragments of prose and poetry not used by Rossetti but often, for that reason, very revealing of his state of mind, notes of place and personal names for poems, ideas for pictures, addresses, accounts and notes of debts, recipes and prescriptions, and a few pencil sketches. Books (2)-(4) have been started at both ends. Several of the fragments not used by D. G. Rossetti were printed by W. M. Rossetti in The Works of D. G. Rossetti, 1911, in the section 'Versicles and Fragments', pp. 239-246, and as 'Sentences and Notes' and 'Scraps' in the section 'Prose', pp. 549-643. Ashley Library Catalogue viii, pp. 178-180.
