191044643n.p.: n.p. 1910. Very good. Original draft entirely written out by hand of the sequel to the international sensation THE ROSARY. While Florence Barclay was working on this manuscript she was in the midst of a life-changing experience: her romance novel THE ROSARY had just become one of the biggest blockbuster novels of the Edwardian era. It was not only a runaway bestseller for years on end but also parodied by PUNCH made into at least five films and described by the Queen of England herself as her favorite book of the year. According to Rachel Anderson it was "said to have been read and wept over by every housemaid in the British Isles." THE MISTRESS OF SHENSTONE was something of its sequel featuring characters first introduced in THE ROSARY. <br /> THE MISTRESS OF SHENSTONE is an exquisite romance between a widow and the man who accidentally killed her husband: like THE ROSARY it combines a moving arc of emotional development with an alluring charisma between the main characters. When Barclay arrived in the United States for a book tour of SHENSTONE she was greeted as a celebrity much in the way that Charles Dickens had been on his first trip to the country. In addition to photographers and journalists she was met right off the boat by a crush of fans holding welcome banners. This experience was so unlike what was expected for English authors in the period that her daughter makes special remark upon it in her biography of the author: "To English readers it may seem a surprising outburst and very different to anything that can be imagined as taking place in England by way of reception accorded to a private individual" 220. In 1921 SHENSTONE also became the first of Barclay's books before THE ROSARY to be turned into a film. <br /> This manuscript offers a window into the writing process of a famous romance author at the height of her power. In addition to the entire base text in Barclay's hand essentially every page is revised in the same hand in some cases extensively. Common editorial markings include crossed out words and sentences some replaced with new text additions to punctuation and rearranged phrases. It is illuminating to compare the manuscript itself with the details of Barclay's writing as described in her daughter's book LIFE OF FLORENCE L. BARCLAY 1921. In seeking to champion her mother as an author for "ordinary readers" her daughter asserts that Barclay "had no eye to the literary connoisseur the seeker after mere artistic effect" 242. Yet many of the revisions made by Barclay in this draft suggest that she cared much more about the art of her work than the biography claims. Altered words often reflect the author's stylistic refinements seeking a more accurate or elevated word in place of the original e.g. "empty" changed to "desolate". Other changes show a focused eye for paring down. For instance "she poured out the doctor's tea" and "passed it across the folding tea table between them" has been changed simply to "handed it to him." These decisions reflect more than a desire to "supply them her readers with that they wanted" 242: they show an author spending hours refining her craft. <br /> A manuscript offering the opportunity to research further into the working process of a major popular romance writer - a topic that has thus far been rarely recorded or studied. 9'' x 6.75''. 386 individual lines sheets thread-bound by hand with pink ribbon filled out in pencil on rectos only. Text begins with Chapter I "On the terrace of Shenstone" and ends with the phrase sentence of the final chapter "Mrs. Jim Airth" in larger script an effect reproduced in the printed final. Editorial markings throughout. Housed in later waxed canvas wrapper with two printed labels "The Mistress of Shenstone" and one handwritten annotation "1st M S of Mistress of Shenstone." Provenance: by descent from author's family. n.p. unknown
26751This popular and prolific American novelist often penned such inspirational fiction for young adults as "The Singular Miss Smith" "Transfiguration of Miss Philura" and "The Resurrection of Miss Cynthia." Two items: First an ALS 1p 6" X 7" Staten Island New York Kingsley Avenue no less! 1923 February 27. Addressed to Albert Johannsen 1871-1962 a University of Chicago geology professor who authored "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" University of Oklahoma Press 1950 the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Fine. Charming note trying to oblige an admirer: "Somewhere in the attic are more respectable 'scraps' of manuscript than the enclosed; but at present I am not able to endure the winter rigors of that repository of 'literary remains.' This is a rejected beginning of the thirteenth chapter of the book I am now writing: 'The Life of Henry Fowle Durant' Founder of Wellesley College. I am sorry I saw fit to crumple it before dropping it into the waste basket." Second the aforementioned Autograph Manuscript Signed 1p 8½" X 11" n.p. n.y. Very good. Despite Kingsley's claim of having crumpled it this thin onionskin-type paper bears almost no evidence of having been so abused. Handsomely and closed penned in black fountain pen and bearing a number of crossouts additions and deletions this is a very full page 89 clearly marked chapter "XIII" and opens: "In her singularly lucid and beautiful 'Interpretation of the Genius of Henry Fowle Durant' Anne Eugenia Morgan writes of him thus: 'Henry Fowle Durant came to provide a transition in our human course -- a beautiful curve for a staircase that leads up up into the clearing mysteries of the bow of light the bow of higher truth luminous in our time." Most unusual to find earlier versions of published works such as this. Kingsley's "Life of Henry Fowle Durant" was published the following year in New York by Century Company. This fascinating pair is accompanied by Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder bearing a printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen. unknown

ANS 1p 4½" X 7" n.p. 1902 December 20. Addressed to "Sir." Very good. Mild bit of age toning. On pale green letterhead Montgomery graciously informs an admirer "I have much pleasure in sending you the autograph you ask me for." Accomplished boldly in black ink in a fair hand as flowery as her fiction. From the collection of University of Chicago geology professor Albert Johannsen 1871-1962 author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" 1950 the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder bearing his printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen accompanies this item. unknown
1864177463London: 21 December 1864. Your great kindness on behalf of this good man's family Nightingale writes to Davis 1820-1883 a clergyman and headmaster to rally support for the family of the recently deceased Lutheran minister Theodor Fliedner 1800-1864 Nightingale's old friend and tutor whom she viewed as a father figure. Fliedner founded and ran 30 deaconess houses where women could train in theology and nursing and his family required financial aid to continue his work. Nightingale met Theodor Fliedner in 1841 and in 1850 became a temporary resident at his flagship deaconess community the Kaiserswerther Diakonie. The women who resided there had committed to a holy life and taken vows. However they were not enclosed as they were trained to go out into the community to care for the sick. Further they could leave at any point if they wished. It was an ideal place for Nightingale for whom nursing was a religious vocation and the time she spent there was "key in the development of her mission" Macdonald p. 7. In 1851 she wrote her first publication issued anonymously titled The Institute of Kaiserswerth on the Rhine in which she recommended Fliedner's deaconess houses to English women. She commented on "the delicacy the cheerfulness the grace of Christian kindness the moral atmosphere" in the hospitals and "the kindness of the sisters in imparting their own knowledge" Nightingale p. 19. The Fliedners and Nightingale remained close long after her stay. In 1853 she became godmother to their child and upon Fliedner's death Nightingale felt that she had lost a father. Determined to support his family in their "continuance of the work" Nightingale wrote and printed an appeal and engaged a network of clergymen to promote the cause. To this end she writes to Reverend Davis that "you were so kind. as to enter into a proposal for sending a provision for the family" and asks that he circulate her pamphlets "amongst the likeliest members" of his community.

"I am very glad that there is to be a real life of the never to be forgotten glorious Dr. Livingstone. I wish Dr. Blaikie God speed. With regard to my private letter to you it was I need hardly say from the depths of my heart & not written with a view to publication and I cannot recall a word that was in it. But if you think that my poor words can contribute anything to what must be the object of every English speaking nation & not only this but of every man woman & child all over the world viz. to make known one who has opened the way of peace & not terror to those who were 'lying in darkness & the shadow of death' on so large a portion of the globe. I feel that I cannot decline what otherwise is so repugnant to me . And pray believe me ever the faithful servant of yourself & the great memory of as true a hero saint as ever lived ."<br /> <br /> Written on the occasion of the preparation for imminent publication of William Garden Blaikie's biography of Livingstone published 1880 the letter gives permission for a letter of hers to be published in which she said of Livingstone: "We cannot console ourselves for our loss. He is irreplaceable" p. 458 and called him "the greatest man of his generation unknown
