Reading Experience:

Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrett to Julia Martin, 14 December 1832: 'I have been reading Bulwer's novels & Mrs Trollope's libels, & Dr Parr's works [...] [Mrs Trollope] has neither the delicacy nor the candour which constitute true nobility of mind [...] Bulwer has quite delighted me: he has all the dramatic talent which Scott has: & all the passion which Scott has not -- and he appears to me to be besides a far profounder discriminator of character. There are some very fine things in his Denounced [sic].'
