Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Anna Brownell Jameson, 2 April 1850:
'I complain of Florence for the want of books -- we have to dig & dig before we can get anything new -- and [italics]I[end italics] can read the newspapers only through Robert's eyes, who only can read them at Vieusseux's [Reading Rooms] in a room sacred from the foot of woman: and this is'nt always satisfactory to me, as whenever he falls into a state of disgust with any political regime, he throws the whole subject over, & wont read a word more about it. Every now & then, for instance, he ignores France altogether .. and I, who am more tolerant, & more curious, find myself suspended over an hiatus'. |
