Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, 16 March 1844:
'I return Mr Burges's criticism [...] which interested me much in the reading. Do let him understand how obliged to him I am for permitting me to look, for a moment, according to his view of the question [...] I am delighted to be able to call by the name of Aeschylus, under the authority of Mr Burges, those noble electrical lines [...[ which had struck me twenty times as Aeschylean, when I read them among the recognized fragments of Sophocles.'
