Summary
About critical reception of Rossetti's "Life of John Keats," published in 1887: "My little book upon Keats seems to be mostly regarded with disfavour ... it is generally assumed that I have tried to `run down' Keats, and am callous to that particular range of poetic faculty which characterizes him to most," and discussing a logical inconsistency in "Ode to a Nightengale." The two letters to Mrs. Dixon concern the return of a D. G. Rossetti letter and a Canon Dixon letter for publication.
