Author: SADLEIR, Michael
Title: Typed Letter Signed 'Michael Sadleir' and dated 'October 27th 1932'.
Description: Letter by author and bibliographer of Victorian literature Michael Sadleir (1888-1957) to 'Dear Mrs Parry'. 25.6 x 20.0 cm. On tinted writing paper of Constable & Co., publishers in London (10 & 12 Orange Street) with extra information in a rubber stamp. 2 p., typed on one side only. 17 lines. Twice folded and a bit creased, some mouse's nibbling at the left margin. Mrs Parry (from Tunbridge Wells) had written a kind letter about his recent book, Edward and Rosina, about Edward Bulwer-Lytton and his wife Rosina Doyle Wheeler, also a novelist. Sadleir mentions her first book, Cheveley, 'It is of course a savage caricature of her husband an his relations, and was the first heavy shell in the prolonged bombardment of Edward's peace of mind which was conducted almost up to the day of his death.' He doesn't think highly of her talents as a writer. Sadleir doubts he ever will get to a further stage of Bulwer's life, because 'so few people want to know about him'. Edward and Rosina had a disappointing circulation.
