Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton : poems
Richard Hengist Horne to Elizabeth Barrett, 27 January 1844: 'Do you know Mrs Norton's poetry? Much I have seen, I thought very good of its kind. More high-minded in its personal aggrievedness, and less reproachful & vindictive than Ld Byron.'

Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton : The Dream, and Other Poems
Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, 13 June 1844: 'The poem [of Caroline Norton's] which I called [italics]domestic[end italics] is one, I think, in an octave stanza, containing a story .. of a wife who becomes aware of the dishonour of her husband. It succeeds the Dream -- It has more [italics]power[end italics], than any composition of Mrs Norton's which I ever read. The name quite escapes me -- & I have so painful an association of a personal nature with the book, as to lose all courage to look into it.'

Caroline Norton : 'The Child of the Islands' (extracts)
Elizabeth Barrett to Cornelius Mathews, 30 April 1845: 'You will see the announcement of Mrs. Norton's new poem on the "Child of the Islands", namely our little Prince of Wales, .. in which she exhorts him to all manner of righteousness & justice & proper kingliness. I have read the poem only in extracts as yet, -- but the melody of cadence & eloquence of thought & tongue seem very delectable.'
