Rosina, Lady Bulwer-Lytton : Cheveley, or the Man of Honour
Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 16 May 1839: 'I am glad you have looked at Cheveley. [italics]Now[end italics] I can confess with one blush less that I have just read it through. People obliged to be dumb like me, & under a medical disciplinarian like Dr Barry have as good an excuse as any can have for reading it [...] The book, if not the reader, is without excuse. It is wonderful in unwomanliness [...] The book is a hard cold coarse book -- a bold impudent book -- & she who wrote it may have COUNTED many strifes but has [italics]felt[end italics] none'.
