Literary manuscripts of Algernon Charles Swinburne, together with transcriptions of other works and some related material. 1851-1999.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57620286

Comprises a substantial collection of manuscripts (many of them autographs), typed or pencilled transcriptions, and some printed proofs and early editions of literary works by Swinburne, including poetry, plays, novels, and essays. Many of them have apparently passed through the hands of Sir Edmund Gosse, and there are many editorial notes included in the bound volumes which have been appended by T.J. Wise, from whom Lord Brotherton probably obtained many of them.

94 separate items, 79 bound, 15 unbound; manuscript, typescript, and printed material.
