Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection is composed of handwritten letters and poems relating to Byron, as well as published or printed sheet music, engravings, and article clippings. Only some materials were written by Byron himself; the bulk of the collection has items created or owned by his family, friends, and admirers. A small portion of this holding includes Dickey's correspondence with rare book dealers and fellow Byron enthusiasts. Additionally, bound book lists of his rare book library are included. Notably, there are a few handwritten Oscar Wilde letters and poems, as Dickey was a collector of Wilde as well. The collection spans from 1815 to 1959, and 1981.
