| Evidence: | From Hallam Tennyson's accounts of 'Last Talks' with his father:
'While reading an article in the Spectator on blank verse, he observed: "I have been reading in the Spectator that Wordsworth and Keats are great masters of blank verse, who are also great in rhyme. Keats was not a master of blank verse. It might be true of Wordsworth at his best. Blank verse can be the finest mode of expression in our language."' |
