Series 1.  Correspondence 1881-1915

Physical Description: 2 boxes (1 linear foot)

Scope and Content Note

Approximately 400 letters written to John Stuart Verschoyle between 1881-1915 by various and diverse leaders in late Victorian literature, politics, journalism and society. The majority of letters are related to Verschoyle's work as an assistant editor of the Fortnightly Review and the social circle he built as a result of this work, but Verschoyle's connections to colonial African mining interests are also well-represented as is his involvement in social reform movements, particularly the anti-vivisection movement. Frequent correspondents include Frank Harris, Theodore Watts-Dunton, Oswald Crawfurd, Frances Power Cobbe, Edward Dowden, Edmund Gosse and Emile Joseph Dillon. Other important names represented here include Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, W.T. Stead, and A.C. Swinburne.
