Evidence: | Benjamin Jowett to Alfred Tennyson, 17 July 1859:
'Thank you many times for your last: I have read it through with the greatest delight, the "Maid of Astolat" twice over, and it rings in my ears. "The Lily Maid" seems to me the fairest, purest, sweetest love-poem in the English language [...] It moves me like the love of Juliet in Shakespeare'. |
