One-page hand-written list of book titles (titled, 'Roger Peers'), mostly relating to Dorset, laid in. Good+ An unusual double association copy of STW's first poetry collection, owned, first, by Bo Foster, an important early lover of Valentine Ackland's, and later, by Roger Peers, Curator of the Dorset County Museum (1959-1992), late friend of STW and saviour of her personal library and papers, many of which were transferred to the Museum; in establishing its STW and VA collections he played a crucial role in ensuring both women's cultural legacies. Valentine Ackland met Eleanor 'Bo' Foster when she was 17; the older woman "completed [the younger's] education both culturally and sexually and encouraged her poetic ambitions". Foster was VA's most significant lover before STW, featuring as 'X' in her posthumously published memoir, For Sylvia (1985). Intriguingly, Foster initialled and dated this copy of STW's first book five years after her painful break-up with Ackland, shortly after the younger poet began her lifelong relationship with STW. Fleeing the Blitz a few years later, Foster elected to move to Dorset with her brother, buying a house just two miles away from Frome Vauchurch, where VA and STW lived. The former lovers became reacquainted during the 1950s and by Ackland's death, Foster was able to send such frank commiserations to STW as: "What can I say? Nothing adequate I loved V.A. and bless you for giving her 40 years of peace & happiness" (Stinton, 2008). A prominent curator, Roger Peers (1932-2023) was also Secretary of the Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society (DNHAS), through which he met STW. The elderly author granted Peers "the chance to choose for the collection of DNHAS (which owns the Dorset County Museum) any books from the library in her house at Frome Vauchurch, and also for myself" (Peers, 2017). In 1986, with the house needing to be cleared, Peers worked with bookseller John Ruston to "put aside all the copies of STW's and VA's books, all the presentation copies of other authors and a great many books of significance and reference, as well as shopping lists and drafts of poems". Peers also retrieved manuscripts of STW's musical compositions from rubbish bags. As the laid-in list suggests, alongside titles by STW and Valentine Ackland, Peers' own book collection, with its distinctive Dorset flavour, boasted a large number of Ackland's copies of Thomas Hardy titles, a number inscribed to her from STW.
