About This Item
Autograph letter signed by the English physician and poet. Undated but circa 1880s. Addressed to "Dear Mr. Cotton" [editor of The Academy magazine of London.] Hake writes to submit a sonnet for publication. Signed "T.G. Hake." Good overall with mailing folds, creasing, and an old ring mark. On thick, laid paper. 4.5 x 7 inches. Hake's early prose epic Vales (aka Valdarno) was admired by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, founder and central figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. A close friendship developed, and Hake became a member of Rosetti's artistic circle. He was later companion and physician to Rossetti during his declining years. (Note: The sonnet Hake references in this letter may have been Venus Urania. It was published in The Academy April 19, 1884.)
