BLUNDEN ON HARRIET SHELLEY
BLUNDEN
(Edmund, 1896-1974, Poet & Critic)
Exceptional Autograph Letter Signed to Miss Catherine Maclean
saying that it was "exceedingly kind of you to write about the lecture on M. Lamb. At about 5 minutes before it was to begin I doubted if I should get to it myself, for a fog descended on the Euston region as dense as I ever knew and the Hall seemed undiscoverable. i hope you are past the heavy cold which at least saved you from that dilemma. And best thanks for your generous reception of Shelley(will all errors and errata.) I hope to improve the book one day, having in particular much curious information to add. Incidentally I think it certain that Harriet Shelley only left her father's house right at the end, and that the failure of a letter from her to reach Mme de Boinville was the immediate reason for her unhappy decision. Maybe the whole affair was more deeply operant in Shelley's later life, even to the end, than I was thinking when the book was written ..." ending about a "merry pamphlet Blackwood's prose and verse on the Londoners would make! the nimble villains ...", 1 side 8vo., with original autograph envelope, 'The Times' headed paper, Printing House Square, 16th March
