F. D. Maurice : Friendship of Books
'I remember [...] [Tennyson's] reading with admiration this passage from Maurice's Friendship of Books. "If I do not give you extracts from any of Milton's specially controversial writings, it is not that I wish to pass them over because the conclusions in them are often directly opposed to mine, for I think that I have learnt most from those that are so."'
Century: 1850-1899 Reader/Listener/Group: Alfred Tennyson Print: Book
