Extract

(An Attempt to Establish the Authorship of Some Rossetti Sonnets Published by the Duke University Press)

Two years ago the Duke University Library came into possession of a quantity of miscellaneous Rossetti material which in 1931 was published by the Duke University Press as Dante Gabriel Rossetti: An Analytical List of Manuscripts in the Duke University Library with hitherto Unpublished Verse and Prose. Edited by Pauli Franklin Baum. Writing of a series of eighteen sonnets, the editor so describes them: “Nine leaves … each containing two sonnets. Each sonnet is numbered, as below. Beneath Nos. 14, 18, 20, 22, 24, 34, 36, 40, 44 stands, in pencil, 'W.M.'; beneath the others: 'G'.” He continues:
