Caroline Bowles : The Birth-Day

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 27 December 1843: 'Although not agreeing with you that the poetry of Caroline Bowles (the Birthday & the minor verses) is "meretricious," -- nay, seeming to see in it much tender simplicity, freshness & moral sweetness, I do not class it or herself highly as poet & poetry, & am aware of the feebleness essentially, -- the want of reach of mind & imagination [goes on to comment upon specific passages of The Birth-Day].'
