[Rarebooks] FS: Algernon Swinburne SIGNED Letter to Composer Theo Marzials

[Charles Agvent]

SWINBURNE, Algernon. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED (ALS). Holmwood, November 
14. A two-page AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED "A. C. Swinburne" on two 
adjoining 4-1/2" x 7" sheets to composer Theo Marzials. In large part: 
"I am afraid I did not answer your note yesterday, & today it rises on 
my sight like an avenging ghost. As a rule I find it necessary to leave 
such matters as the publishing of my songs with music wholly in the 
hands of the publishers, who have their own tariff fixed for the 
license; but of course I reserve my right to dispense with this in the 
case of friends, & was never more glad to make use of it than in yours." 
Marzials created a musical version of Swinburne's poem "Ask Nothing More 
of Me, Sweet," which became one of the most popular ballads of the 
1880s. Creases from mailing. Near Fine. (#021434)        $750
