Rossetti, September 25 1893' on the front free endpaper, publisher's blue buckram, t.e.g., 8vo, S.P.C.K., 1893 (4)Footnotes:POIGNANT ASSOCIATION COPIES INSCRIBED BY ROSSETTI TO LISA WILSON, Christina's 'Fior-de-Lisa', an aspiring poet who was Rossetti's 'most important admirer... close friend and companion' (Jan Marsh, Christina Rossetti. A Literary Biography, 1994, p.538). Having been deeply moved on reading Rossetti's poetry Wilson struck up a correspondence with her in the early 1880s before, on 27 May 1885, paying a visit to the poet at Torrington Square to collect an inscribed copy of Time Flies from the author. 'From that point on, Wilson came to call quite often. Concerning the last years of his sister's life, the years following her mother's death in 1886, William Michael Rossetti writes, 'In these painful years one of the friends whom Christina saw with most satisfaction was Miss Lisa Wilson; a lady accomplished in verse and sketching who had been drawn to my sister by her poetry, and viewed her with deep affection and reverential regard' (Diane D'Amico, 'Lisa Wilson: 'A Friend of Christina Rossetti'', The Journal of Pre-Raphaelite Studies, Vol. 10, Fall 2001, p.112). In 1896 Wilson published her own volume of lyric poetry, titled Verses, which she dedicated to 'To the sweet and gracious memory of Christina G. Rosetti, who honoured me with the name of friend', and in which the poem 'First Meeting' recalls lovingly the May day on which they first met. Our copy of Time Flies, the very book that brought them together, is handsomely decorated with botanical watercolours by Wilson (see lot 120). Besides many of the poems Wilson has put dates, presumably of meaning to her, including for instance 'C.G.R. 1885' beside the poem for 27 May commemorating the first meeting, and '1894' with 17-lines of poetry ('In the octave of my Christmas my love fell asleep...') beside the poem for 29 December, the date of Christina's death. Other annotations include a pencil correction to a poem (May 1) on the Feast of St. Philip, noting 'Philip the Evangelist - not the Apostle dear Christina!', and beside the entry for 4 April two four-leaf clover 'pressed specimens gathered in Cornwall, which Christina inserted into the volume' (Marsh, ibid, p.538).Provenance: Mary Louisa 'Lisa' Wilson (1850-1934, poet, artist and friend of Christina Rossetti); her god-daughter Christina Maude Evelyn Corkran (1903-1979); thence by descent.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Nor do I like 'dearest' applied to Angels, as if giving them preference over saints...'), commenting on her illustrations ('...your 'queen of night in robe of royal blue' - would not a somewhat bluer sky commend itself to the gazer?...'), and on her 'pretty' carol ('...My brother (the poet) would not allow dawn to rhyme with such words as born...'), sympathetic to her ill health ('...I know enough of illness occasionally and of weak health more or less habitually...'), her London home ('...trees on both sides of the house... a source of real pleasure...'), her famous brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti ('...a highly gifted man, and was very attractive withal...'), thanking her for many gifts ('...the beautiful and beautifully packed chrysanthemums with their attendant greenery...'), commenting on the post of Poet Laureate ('...not Mr Ruskin, I wish, as I see no reason why the laurel should leap from poetry to prose however poetical...'), one letter of 10 February 1891 including a poem ('Looking back along life's trodden way'), and much else, each numbered in pencil by Louisa Newsham, no.34 inscribed 'the last' and initialled 'L.N.' on reverse, 105 pages, dust-staining, creased at folds, 8vo (175 x 110mm.), 30 Torrington Square, W.C., 4 February 1889 to 18 May 1894Footnotes:'...I ASSURE YOU MY BROTHER GABRIEL DID, IN OLD DAYS, SO MUCH OF THE SAME KIND FOR MY POEMS... AND HERE I AM AT YOUR SERVICE...': Christina Rossetti advises an aspiring poet.Christina Rossetti describes her relationship with Louisa Newsham in these letters as '...blessed work – blessed to myself... my dear unseen friend...' and her biographer Mary Sandars considered it a '...labour of love... to please and interest an invalid whom she never saw...' (The Life of Christina Rossetti, 1930, p.257). Rossetti usually destroyed her incoming letters so it is often difficult to glean information about her lesser-known correspondents but, in this case much can be discovered about the recipient from Rossetti's replies. It appears that Louisa Newsham lived the quiet life of an invalid in the town of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire: '...It is a sad glimpse you afford of yourself, so suffering and so secluded...', Rossetti writes. Louisa had been moved to write to Rossetti after finding comfort in her poems published in the Watchword (evidently, as shown here, without her knowledge), and sends examples of her own writing to Rossetti for criticism. What is most striking about these letters are Rossetti's careful and extensive replies in which she forensically goes through Louisa's work stanza by stanza and offers her quiet but definitive opinion ('...What disturbs me more is the definiteness of 'daffodils' and comparative indefiniteness of 'flower bells'. Would it be possible and not amiss to substitute for the latter 'silver wind flowers'... Stanza 3 would perhaps gain by changing (l.2) 'streamlets' into 'rivulets', by which means to could be discarded and the 3 lines of the triplet brought into uniformity of the structure...'). She demonstrates the utmost tact and sends her apologies lest her comments offend ('...you must take my criticism only for what it is worth: use it if useful, if not acceptable, reject it without hesitation...'), and cites as an excuse her poet brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti ('...I assure you my brother Gabriel did, in old days, so much of the same kind for my poems, that they came out materially the better for his care...'). Sometimes the encouragement is more guarded ('...Far indeed I am from advising you to thwart your poetic impulse – an undoubted gift for your own solace, and perhaps for the solace of many others...'), but it appears that Louisa did have a long poem published as a devotional greetings card by Mowbray & Co. These detailed letters were written at a particularly busy time for Rossetti, working as she was on an enlarged edition of her poems (1890), The Face of the Deep (1892), Verses, (1893) and a new edition of Sing-Song (1893), as well as managing the household and engaging in extensive correspondence (see Antony H. Harrison, ed., The Letters of Christina Rossetti, Vol. 4, 1887-1894, 2004). From the very beginning they bond over their mutual ill health ('...I have a natural tendency to despondency...') and a love of flowers and nature. Rossetti was the recipient of many gifts of flowers from Louisa over the years ('...Lovely were the flowers when released from their box... I wonder whether your own hands placed the protecting wool round so many of the little choice bunches...'). In return Louisa was sent a photograph of a portrait drawing by Dante Gabriel ('...It was then, I believe, a good deal like me...') together with some autographs including that of D.G. Rossetti and Amelia Opie (not present here). As the relationship develops, more details of the Rossetti household are revealed ('...My home circle is less cheerful than in the old days; consisting as it now does of two very aged Aunts (87 and 80), one bedridden, the other still more seriously diseased. But... I am exactly where I should choose to abide were all the world laid open to my choice...') and her London home ('...not long ago I saw myself described as residing in a dreary London Square; but really I find my... London trees cheerful... I hope you feel the same concerning your moon, stars, sunshine, remote country...'). Her adoption of mourning paper in 1890 and 1893 marks the deaths of her aunts Charlotte and Eliza. All the letters are published in Antony H. Harrison's The Letters of Christina Rossetti, Vol. 4: 1887-1894, 2004, and have been consulted by Rossetti's biographers. Many are undated but have been put into sequence by reference to Louisa Newsham's pencilled numbers on each. The letters derive from the collection of Christina Rossetti's close friend Lisa Wilson but exactly when and how she acquired them is not known. On her deathbed, Rossetti had urged Lisa to be kind and write to Louisa occasionally ('...The announcement of my death may be a shock to her. Write to her at once...', Sandars, p.266). After Rossetti's death, Lisa had requested the return of her own manuscript volume from William Michael Rossetti (see lot 120) and destroyed Rossetti's letters to her to preserve her privacy. She may have requested Louisa return the letters or perhaps she acquired them after Louisa's death. The letters, together with the rest of her Rossetti collection in this sale (see lots 117-121) were passed to her god-daughter Christina Corkran, and has remained in the family since then. Two letters from Rossetti to Louisa dating from 1890 are held in the Wisbech and Fenland Museum.Provenance: Mary Louisa 'Lisa' Wilson (1850-1934, poet, artist and friend of Christina Rossetti); her god-daughter Christina Maude Evelyn Corkran (1903-1979); thence by descent.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
