Reading Experience:

Evidence:
Thomas Westwood to Elizabeth Barrett, 1 January 1844: 'Shelley, I have read, through & through, & love & admire him as much, as I can do a man who holds himself so far aloof from common feelings, & common sympathies -- There are poems of his, which I never tire of reading -- the "ode to a Skylark", & "Alastor", & part of the "Prometheus", & that magnificent first canto of the "Revolt of Islam", with the fight of the eagle & serpent'.
