Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton : The Dream, and Other Poems
Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, 13 June 1844: 'The poem [of Caroline Norton's] which I called [italics]domestic[end italics] is one, I think, in an octave stanza, containing a story .. of a wife who becomes aware of the dishonour of her husband. It succeeds the Dream -- It has more [italics]power[end italics], than any composition of Mrs Norton's which I ever read. The name quite escapes me -- & I have so painful an association of a personal nature with the book, as to lose all courage to look into it.'

Mrs Norton :
Harriet, Countess Granville, to her sister, Lady Carlisle, 4 June 1835: 'I am with the window open, the orange flower smelling too strong, the nightingales singing too loud, and this in the middle of a city is very delicious. There is a beautiful passage in Mrs. Norton's book about that, the gifts so impartially granted to all and what ought to be our gratitude. How excellent, how beautiful I think some of her writing; but somehow or other [...] she is not in keeping with her own opinions and feelings, and it is impossible to bind her up with her own stories.'
