Sarah Shannon (married name Sarah Dickinson) was a fine poet in her own right (see the blurb quoted in Item One below), and it is unfortunate that she allowed herself to be eclipsed by her husband the self-styled 'poet and impresario of poetry', Patric Dickinson. He occupied a central position in the cultural landscape of post-war Britain. As an editor and broadcaster he worked with poets such as Dylan Thomas, Cecil Day Lewis and Roy Campbell, actresses Flora Robson, Peggy Ashcroft and Jill Balcon, and actors Robert Donat, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud. See John Mole's obituary in the Independent, 31 January 1994. These five items come from the papers of Dickinson's mistress Sarah Emmeline Hamilton. (PD's extraordinary correspondence with Hamilton, including 171 original and mostly-unpublished poems, 474 autograph letters and 349 post cards, is offered separately, and includes more letters from Shannon to Hamilton, along with Piers Plowright's funeral address for Shannon). ONE: Copy of 'The Lightning-Struck Tower'. 64 pp, 8vo. In red cloth in brown and black dustwrapper. In fair condition, lightly aged, in worn and aged dustwrapper. Inscribed on front free endpaper: 'for Sarah - / with / my / love - / S. S. / 2. 3. '4 [2 March 1964?]'. Blurb: 'During the last six years Sheila Shannon has worked in close association with the late W. J. Turner during his editorship of the well-known Britain in Pictures series and, more recently, co-edited with him the series of illustrated anthologies called New Excursions into English Poetry. / For some years she was poetry reviewer for the Spectator in which paper many of these poems first appeared; others have been printed in various periodicals and some have been broadcast in Patric Dickinson's programmes of New Poems.' TWO: ALS (19 February 1965): Air Mail letter from 'Sheila Dickinson / 38 Church Square / Rye, Sussex / England.' Addressed to: 'Miss Sarah Hamilton / The Swiss Farm Excelsior / Frausch Hoek / CAPE / South Africa -'. 2pp, 12mo. A long letter, expressing concern about Hamilton's health and mood on her long trip. She has gone from Rome and needs to see a 'TOP TONSILS EXPERT'. She gives home news and signs 'Sheila'. THREE: ALS ( 16 June 1994): 2pp, foolscap 8vo. To 'Darling Sarah' and signed 'Sheila'. The greater part of the letter describes PD's memorial service: 'David [their son] & Ginny [his wife] & I all felt that the gathering had turned out exactly as we had hoped - & perhaps even better - I was apprehensive beforehand - but so many people came, of all ages & interests, & responded so readily & warmly that I felt there was a happy feeling & that, as at Charing, it was right for Patric - I thought David was absolutely wonderful & I know how very very difficult he found it was to do - & yet he did it with all the tenderness and wit & honesty which must go with anything said about Patric'. She also praises the BBC producer Piers Plowright, and the two readers of PD's poetry Elizabeth Bell and 'Ronald [Pickup]'. FOUR: Printed keepsake on light-blue card of poem 'HEN BLACKBIRD' ('It seems I have a faculty / For rescuing birds') by 'P.D. printed on one side. On the reverse, dated by Hamilton to 1998, is the following in Sheila Dickinson's autograph: 'for / Daphne & Sarah / to bring you my fondest wishes for Christmas - / & with my love - / Sheila.' FIVE: Printed keepsake, on light-green card with the poem 'Often in Dreams' ('Often in dreams I wander / Through splendid cities that seem') by 'P.D.' printed on one side. On the reverse, in Sheila Shannon's hand, 'for Daphne and Sarah - with my love & all very best wishes for Christmas and hopes for a much better and less troubled New Year. / Sheila - / Patric's dreams often became poems & I chose this one because I remember him waking up & telling it to me. It had made him happy - / S.'. Seller Inventory # 25755

Three letters from Pedro Alvarez de Toledo (1484-1553), Duke of Alba and councillor to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and his wife Maria Osorio y Pimentel (1498-1539) to Ferrante Gonzaga (1507-1557), Viceroy of Sicily, who commanded the imperial cavalry fighting the Ottomans in North Africa. They concern the Ottoman fleet marauding in the Mediterranean in 1539, thirteen years after the Ottoman victory at the Battle of Mohács gave them control of much of Hungary and roused Christian fears of their strong presence in Europe, and ten years after Barbarossa established his base in Algiers. The first letter, signed by Alvarez de Toledo, advises that, due to the recent loss of Castelnuovo to the Turks, he has given orders for vigilance and defensive preparations on the island of Lipari. He asks Gonzaga to supply any assistance the islanders require. The second letter, also from Alvarez de Toledo, advises Gonzaga that he has received a letter from Andrea Doria (1466-1560), urging a campaign against Barbary to be carried out forthwith, in order to avoid further damage from the Turks. This followed the defeat of Doria's fleet at the battle of Preveza in September 1538 by the fleet commanded by the Ottoman admiral Haydeddin Barbarossa (ca. 1478-1546), long feared in Europe as the infamous privateer Red Beard. The third letter is addressed to Gonzaga by Osorio y Pimentel, informing him that her husband has sent news that the Turkish fleet has been sighted off the Capo d'Otranto, some 150 sails having been observed. She also notes that she has informed Francisco de Tovar, governor of the port La Goleta at Tunis. Given that Barbarossa may direct his attention there, she requests that Gonzaga send a frigate to Tunis to warn de Tovar to remain vigilant.The seal on Osorio y Pimentel's letter is damaged and can no longer be made out, but the faint visible traces appear to match the arms and flags of her husband's seal, and a small part of the imperial seal on his second letter is damaged, but all three letters are still in very good condition. Three letters of 1539 all important primary sources for hostilities between the Ottoman Empire and Christian Europe. Each formerly folded for posting, so that the address would have appeared on one side and the seal on the other. Each letter, in brown ink, occupies one page, with the last page containing the address and the sender's seal. The two inside pages of the second and third letter are blank. Pages: [4]; [4]; [2] pp. including blanks. Seller Inventory # I77GA41T64D4
