Abstract:
Scholars are well aware that Dante Gabriel Rossetti was seriously concerned that the printing of his work be carried out to his precise expectations. The surviving MS and proof materials for his books are remarkably extensive. This is especially the case with his 1870 Poems and the two 1881 volumes—Poems. A New Edition and Ballads and Sonnets. As with his 1870 volume, Rossetti once again enlisted others to help him with the correction of his two 1881 volumes as they were going through the press. Taking the Ballads and Sonnets volume as an especially clear and dramatic case of Rossetti 's creative habits, this essay exposes how meticulous and how significant were the corrections and changes that Rossetti made to that book.
