Hunt, William Holman, 1827-1910. Personal and family papers, ca. 1833-1930.

Title: Personal and family papers, ca. 1833-1930.

Chiefly correspondence of William Holman Hunt, with some correspondence of his wife Edith and other family members, and commonplace books of Edith and his father, William. The collection has been assembled from various sources, but includes a substantial family archive (formerly acession 870644). Hunt's letters contain extensive information on the Pre-Raphaelites, his own development as an artist, and his travels in the Middle East. His incoming correspondence includes letters from the writer Maurice Hewlett, the painters Walter Deverell, Edward Lear, Ford Madox Brown and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the critics John Ruskin, Frederic George Stephens and William Michael Rossetti. Taken together, Hunt's correspondence constitutes an important source on the English art scene in the second half of the nineteenth century. The commonplace book of William contains the only known manuscript copy of the "List of Immortals," the manifesto of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood set down in 1848 by Holman Hunt and Rossetti.

Charles Eliot Norton papers

Title: Charles Eliot Norton papers

This archive contains letters addressed to Charles Eliot Norton from about 1845 to1908. Norton was a Harvard graduate (A.B. 1846) and professor of the History of Fine Arts at Harvard from 1874 to 1898, with a special interest in the study and translation of Dante. Many of the letters in this collection deal with art and with Dante. In addition he knew a great many prominent figures in both England and the United States, especially those in the political field and the literary and artistics fields. His correspondence with these people often touches upon their public and their private lives. From 1863 to 1868 Norton was joint editor with his friend James Russell Lowell of the North American review. The letters addressed to him as editor are marked in this index by a star (*) and the folders containing them are stamped with a red N.A.R.(=North American Review). In 1898 Norton's opposition to the Spanish-American war led Senator George F. Hoar to criticize him. A list of some of the letters Norton received commenting on this controversy is at the end of this index. Referenced throughout the finding aid is the Excavations at Delphi (scrapbook folder) with a folder designation, such as f.1, f.2, and so on. All folders can be found at item number 5308.
