Stuk 31 - Letter from Lascelles Abercrombie to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Monk's Walk Cottage, Much Marcle, Dymock, Gloucester. - Returns the "Dutchman" [a translation of Joost van den Vondel's "Lucifer" by Bob and Elizabeth Trevelyan] which he has copied and thinks they should finish. Is glad Trevelyan likes "Mary and the Bramble"; agrees with his criticisms of it for lack of lucidity, and of the vulgarity in one passage (also criticised by Abercrombie's wife). The poem will be self-published. Hopes to host Dickinson soon, and would like to do the same for Trevelyan before the end of the year. May have to go to London, and if he does would like to meet and take in a concert, as he misses music a great deal. Sends a poem which is rather a metrical experiment.
