Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Uvedale Price, c.15 April 1827:
'I have done reading your correspondence with Mr Commeline [...] I thought it odd that an
article of the Edinburgh Review should be referred to, on a philological subject; &, on looking
into the one which Mr Commeline calls the "Manual of his heresy", I was surprised to find us
accused there of ["]subverting the true metrical structure of Latin hexameters, even according
to the accentual system" by [italics]not[end italics] laying our accent on the [italics]long[end
italics] syllable, & by laying it on the short ones. The Reviewer seems confused in his
speculations'. |
