Description
The life and times of Edmund Gosse glow warmly in these letters, delightful to even the most casual reader, engrossing to one with an interest in the distinguished correspondents or in the late-Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Paul F. Mattheisen (1925–2001) was Associate Professor of English at Harpur College, State University of New York. Michael Millgate is University Professor of English Emeritus, University of Toronto. The two editors initiated their own transatlantic dialogue when they met in 1959 at the University of Leeds, England, where Millgate, an Englishman, was then a lecturer and Mattheisen, an American, was on a Fulbright Fellowship. Both were interested in the materials on Gosse in the Brotherton Collection at Leeds, and their collaboration on this work naturally developed.
