SWINBURNE Algernon Charles (1837-1909).
L.A.S., The Pines [Putney, London] May 4, 1891, to a lady [Louise CHANDLER MOULTON ?]| 1 page in-8| in English.
About her dead friend, the poet Philip Marston.
[Louise Chandler MOULTON (1835-1908) was looking for a publisher to publish the works of the English poet Philip Bourke MARSTON (1850-1887)| she published Marston's Collected Poems in Boston in 1892].
He would be happy to recommend a publisher, if he knew who to recommend her to. But as her own publisher categorically refused her a small book - still unpublished - dedicated to the memory of their poor friend Philip Marston, and which includes, in addition to sonnets and other elegiac poems written by Swinburne immediately after Marston's death, Mr. Watts' tribute, published in the Athenæum, she will understand that Swinburne's influence in the publishing world is less than nothing...
"I should be happy to recommend a publisher to you if I knew of one to recommend. But as my own publisher flatly refused a little book - still unpublished - of my own, inscribed to the memory of our poor friend Philip Marston, &| which would have contained besides my sonnets &| other elegiac poems written immediately after his death, Mr. Wats's memorial tribute reprinted from the Athenaeum, you will understand that my influence in the publishing world is rather less than nothing"...
