sub-fonds 682 - Letters from A. E. Housman to Clemence and Laurence Housman

6 items

These items may have been among those sold at Sotheby’s on 9 July 1968 on behalf of Robert E. Symons, A. E. Housman’s literary executor, who presumably obtained them from Housman’s brother and sister. They formerly belonged to Cyril Hunt (1919-1999), whose daughter Christine Walters presented them to the Housman Society, who in turn presented them to Trinity in October 2022.

This small collection contains six letters written by A. E. Housman to his sister Clemence and his brother Laurence between 1905 and 1935.

The letters have been arranged in chronological order.

Transcripts of these letters were printed in the Housman Society Journal, vol. 49 (2023), pp. 64-8
