Thomas J. Serle : Joan of Arc
Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 8 December 1841: 'I have not read Self formation, -- & [italics]have[end italics] read "Gaston de Blondeville" [...] And I have been reading your Mr Serle's Joan of Arc -- confessing with you the talent of the book, while I groaned a little under the heaviness [...] Joan is not very interesting -- true & beautiful as is the aspect she wears. She is seen as in a picture -- attitude, countenance -- but we dont feel her heart beat -- we know nothing of her inward life.'
