ABSTRACT

In a personal essay about cultic misprision of a manuscript leaf holding on one side Keats’s Sonnet to Sleep. Susan Wolfson tells a story of collecting, auctioning, and sales, from its composition in June 1820, a May 1829 auction, to news published in 1933, to eventual arrival in the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library. Various players include John Hamilton Reynolds, Sir John Bowring, wily bookseller William T. Spencer, the first and long-term curator of the Keats Memorial House in Hampstead, Fred Edgcumbe, and industrialist, diplomat, and bibliophile Owen D. Young. Although Wolfson is the principle author of this essay, it reflects considerable collaborative advice from Keats scholars John Barnard and Nicholas Roe.

摘要

在一篇关于对一侧拿着济慈的《入睡十四行诗》的手稿页的邪教错误的个人文章中。苏珊·沃尔夫森 (Susan Wolfson) 讲述了一个收藏、拍卖和销售的故事，从 1820 年 6 月的作品、1829 年 5 月的拍卖，到 1933 年发布的新闻，再到最终进入纽约公共图书馆的伯格收藏。各种参与者包括约翰·汉密尔顿·雷诺兹、约翰·鲍林爵士、狡猾的书商威廉·T·斯宾塞、汉普斯特德济慈纪念馆的第一任长期馆长、弗雷德·埃德格库姆，以及实业家、外交家和藏书家欧文·D·杨。尽管沃尔夫森是本文的主要作者，但它反映了济慈学者约翰·巴纳德和尼古拉斯·罗伊的大量合作建议。
