About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press, 1937. 1 vols. 8vo. Cloth. Fine. 1 vols. 8vo. This important volume contains 31 previously unpublished letters by Fanny Brawn to Fanny Keats commencing shortly after Keats' death the 13th of September 1820 and continuing untl 1824 when Fanny Keats reached her majority. The two Fanny's had not met prior to Keats' death but Keats' last letter to his sister, which was in the hand of Fanny Brawne, says that "I have accepted the assistance of a friend, who I have desired to write to you when I am gone and to communicate any intelligence she may hear of me." These letteres had originally been purchased from the family of Keats' sister by the eccentric Boston collector, F. Holland Day, who had allowed Amy Lowell only a very limited access to them. After Mr. Day gave the letters to the Keats Museum at Hempstead they were published in an effort to re-establish Fanny Brawn in a better light.
