| Evidence: | 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.' |
