Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 30 December 1844: 'With regard to "La Confession Generale," I am in just your case, -- having read only the first volume, & failed of the others [i.e. not been able to obtain them from library], -- there are three: & I was the more provoked because I was interested in the denouement [...] Do you know "Fernande" by Dumas? It was sent to me instead of "Un homme serieux", last night __ & I rather like the opening. But Dumas is a second-class writer.'
