Aeschlylus  : Prometheus Bound

Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 3 March 1828: I have reconsidered Io [...] I quite agree with you in admiring the night visions, the geographical descriptions, & several other passages full of animation & power. I can do this with perfect truth, as I read the scene in an unconnected state'.

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Barrett      Print: Book

  

Aeschlylus  : Prometheus Bound

From Emily Tennyson's journal, 18 May 1867: 'He [Tennyson] read the new version of one of the "Window Songs," "Take my Love"; Heine's "Songs"; and some of the Reign of Law. The chapter on "Law in Politics" was especially interesting to us. The quotations from A. expressed some of the deepest truths [...] With the boys he was reading Flodden Field, the Prometheus of Aeschylus, and the 1st Georgic.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Alfred Tennyson and sons (Hallam and Lionel)     Print: Book
