'Astrophel and Other Poems'. 'Grace Darling'; [1892?]. Fair copy, written on one side only of four large quarto leaves of blue wove paper. No watermark. The MS. is entitled 'Grace Darling' in Swinburne's hand, and he has numbered the leaves 1-4. The text found in the fair copy differs by one word only from that printed on pp. 69-79 of the first edition.
The earliest mention of 'Grace Darling' in Swinburne's correspondence is in a letter to W. T. Watts[-Dunton] dated 30 July 1892, where he says '"Grace Darling" is well approved of all round' (C. Y. Lang, Swinburne Letters, vi, 1962, p. 30). The poem was first published in the Illustrated London News for June 1893. Bound up with the MS. are pp. 69-79 from a copy of Astrophel and Other Poems, 1894 (ff. 5-10).
Large quarto; ff. iii+10.
