Familiar correspondence newly translated from the Italian of
Christina G. Rossetti. Stanford Dingley 1962. Trn of an 8-pt
fictional ‘Corrispondenza famigliare’ between two young ladies,
one Italian – Angela-Maria de’ Ruggieri – the other English –
Emma Ward – and 2 short poems by C.G.R. written in Italian
under the sobriquet ‘Calta’ that appeared in the first 3 collections
of The Bouquet, Culled from Marylebone Gardens, ptd for
private circulation 1852. The anon ed suggests that the letters
may have been written as exercises for C.G.R.’s Italian pupils and
that other letters ‘would have followed but for the early decease
of the magazine and the withering of the Bouquet’, but no
mention is made of the date the magazine ceased publication.
Waterloo Directory of Victorian Periodicals identifies 7 collections
1851–5. The phrase ‘Da continuarsi’, which concludes each
of the 8 letters, raises the question whether (a) one or more later
instalments may appear in subsequent vols (4–7), or (b) the
balance of the fragmentary epistle-narrative may still exist in
manuscript. Letter 7 contains the poem Love in a mist (Purporea
rosa); letter 8 The roses which you have from me (Questa rosa
ch’io done).
