Did Lizzie Siddal write only fifteen poems, or are there more unpublished ones?
Just fifteen that I know of. In The Legend of Elizabeth Siddal, Jan Marsh says “But her poetry – fifteen more or less complete poems, plus some fragments – is also an important part of her ‘own story’.” (p.198)
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of the ‘plus some fragments’ she refers to, but I don’t think they are complete poems.
People have emailed me before, saying that they had poems of Lizzie’s that are not included on this site, but they turned out to be poems by Gillian Allnut. Allnut had published a collection titled Lizzie Siddall: Her Journal 1862, but it is fictional poetry written in the voice of Lizzie. None of them are by Lizzie herself.
