| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, 22 December 1843:
'I read the "Song of the Shirt" & felt all the power of it. It is not every man -- is it? -- who can
prick so into the heart with a needle -- but Hood is an extraordinary writer [...] What tragic
passion he throws into that "sti[t]ch sti[t]ch before he has done with it! -- enough to make two
or three successful modern tragedies'.
