Theodore Watts-Dunton (1832-1914) was an English critic and poet. He was close friends with English poets Alfred Lord Tennyson, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Algernon Charles Swinburne.
William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) was an English writer and critic, brother to poets Christina and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and a founding member of the group known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
The Theodore Watts-Dunton Letters consists of four letters dated from his home "The Pines." The letter to William Michael Rossetti, on mourning paper, inquires about a sale of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's picture "Brimful," and sends thanks for note on Dante. The letters to Appleton & Co. discuss the possibility of a biography of Swinburne. Only the first, signed "Watts," is in Watts-Dunton's hand, the others were written for him by his secretary.
