Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Arabella Moulton-Barrett, 13-14 July 1839: 'I told [Mr Naylor] [...] that the gift of his book was the more gratifying to me as coming from a friend of Miss [Mary Russell] Mitford. Praising the poetry of it generally, was quite out of the question. It is an excellent [italics]mimicry from le comique[end italics] of Tennyson -- Tennyson's mannerism & peculiarities [end italics]without his genius[end italics]. I felt myself quite laughing while I was reading some things in it.'
