Autograph letter signed from Algernon Charles Swinburne, Putney S.W., to John Nichol at The College, Glasgow [manuscript], [1879] September 20.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/233983399

Swinburne writing from Ivy Lodge, Werter Road, Putney S.W., states that his family's home, Holmwood, has been sold and that he is going to live with his friend, W.T. Watts-Dunton in the suburbs. Swinburne speaks of his A Study of Shakespeare (1880), as being so close to publication that he can send Nichol a copy in a few weeks. He hears that Furnivall intends to anticipate it with a pamphlet reprinting his articles from the Spectator (Mr. Swinburne's "Flat Burglary" of Shakespeare, 1879). He also makes slighting remarks of Tennyson. An envelope, postmarked Henley-on-Thames February 1, [18]77, in Swinburne's hand addressed to John Nichol, but in different ink, is inlaid.

5 leaves ; 18 x 10.5 cm.
