'A Drama of Exile': a poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning; 1843-1844. Autograph fair copy, with revisions, of ll. 1007-1052, written on both sides of an octavo leaf of white wove paper, and on one side only of a scrap of the same paper. No watermark. The text found in the MS. differs in several places from that first published in Poems, 1844, vol. i, pp. 53-56. The leaves have been paginated in the author's hand 43-46, the numbers being placed in the top right hand corners of the rectos and the top left hand corners of the versos. An autograph fair copy of ll. 1-578, 696-782, including a revised version of ll. 389-490 at the end, written on paper identical to that found in the present MS., and with the same system of pagination, is in the Armstrong Browning Library, Baylor University. It is highly probable that the two items once formed part of the same MS. A quotation of ll. 781-785, signed and dated 'Paris 17 October 1858' is Ashley MS. A2527, f. 17. Ashley Library Catalogue, i, pp. 94-95.
