This volume comprises 150 letters (out of a corpus of 2500) written by the late 19th-century poet, critic, lexicographer, editor and journalist W.E. Henley, to various figures of the period. They include R.L. Stevenson, H.G. Wells, J.M. Barrie, as well as those in his more immediate circle; his wife, Anna, his financial backer, Fitzroy Bell, Charles Baxter - the arbitrator in the quarrel between Henley and Stevenson, and his Edinburgh art collector friend, Hamilton Bruce. Each letter is fully annotated and an introduction places Henley within the period and provides a biographical account of his life and literary work which is reflected in his letters. Of particular importance is the role of Henley as editor of "London", the "Magazine of Art", the "Scots Observer" and later, the "National Observer" and the "New Review".
