| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 31 March 1843:
'I feel guilty before you, since your last letter has remained too long unanswered [...] I
thought it necessary to read "Cuthullin" steadily through as a preliminary to replying to your
remarks upon it. This has been achieved at last [...] I admit the great beauty of certain things
in the poem [...] although I preserve my opinion upon the general monotony & defective
individuality'.
