Correspondence

The Correspondence series is made up of the outgoing and incoming correspondence of Algernon Charles Swinburne. It is arranged alphabetically by correspondent. All of Swinburne's correspondence can be found in this series, with the exception of a brief letter he composed, through Theodore Watts-Dunton's secretary, to D.A. Wilson. This letter is in the Swinburne Circle series with the rest of the D.A. Wilson letters, all of which are apparently related. In cases where the complete name of the correspondent does not appear within the letter, it has been deduced or reasonably guessed at by past owners of the material or by library staff.

Notable correspondents, within both this series and The Swinburne Circle series, include Edward Burne-Jones, Mackenzie Bell, Edmund Gosse, novelist Mrs. (Mary Louisa) Molesworth, the publisher (and forger) Thomas Wise, and even Claude Debussy and Constance Wilde, the wife of Oscar Wilde.
