Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, 13 April 1842:
'I send you back the [italics]two[end italics] books with a great many thanks.
'The Tragedy will be considered probably "naught" as a whole, but of considerable entity of
beauty in its detached parts. It appears to [italics]me[end italics] that there are even fine
dramatic touches in it although it is not a fine tragedy [...] For the rest -- there is much which
is beautiful & powerful -- only you have [end italics]to dig for it[end italics] -- Do read the
sonnets to the painter .. & the next palinodia sonnet -- & the one beginning "A Poet" -- & that
composed on May morning 1838'. |
