WORDSWORTH, William (1770-1850). Autograph manuscript signed ('Wordsworth'), for the sonnet 'While they, her Playmates once, light-hearted tread', Rydal Mount, 12 February 1827. One page, 217 x 190mm, 14 lines (small tear touching the signature). An autograph manuscript for the poem 'While they, her Playmates once, light-hearted tread', apparently pre-dating the first appearance in print of the sonnet featuring the now-legendary stuffed owl. Based on an account given to Wordsworth by his friend, the writer Maria Jane Jewsbury (1800-1833), of a spell of childhood illness and the relief she derived from the presence of a taxidermic bird, the sonnet was first published in the 1827 edition of his Poetical Works , but only achieved widespread public recognition over a century later, as the inspiration for the title of D.B. Wyndham-Lewis-and Charles Lee's The Stuffed Owl: An Anthology of Bad Verse (1930).
