Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 20 September 1844:
'I have just read Coningsby. It is very able, & yet scarcely efficient [...] It has no story, & not
a great deal of character; and is powerful as an exponent of the Young England political views,
without being specific. Still, a master-mind lives in the book, & the reader feels it
everywhere.'
