Evidence: | Mary Russell Mitford to Elizabeth Barrett, 28 November 1844:
'What works of Casimir Delavigne have you read? [...] I have read "Louis the Eleventh [sic],"
"Marino Faliero," "Les Enfans d'Edouard [sic]," "Don Juan d'Autriche," "La Popularite," "La Fille
du Cid," "Une Famille du temps de Luther [sic]," forming the second and third series of his
"Theatre." To me they seem full of talent; striking the just medium between the slowness and
dullness of what they call the classical drama [...] and the unnatural and exaggerated
contrasts and surprises of Victor Hugo'. |
