Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 8 September 1830:
'I have been reading lately with my brothers some of Racine's plays [...] It is several years
since I read them by myself; and if they disgusted me then, they are intolerable to me now.
The French have no part or lot in poetry [goes on to complain of what she perceives to be
excessive formality and orderliness of French neoclassical poetry]'. |
