| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 21 January 1831:
'You will lend me Phalaris (will you not?) at some future time -- -- i have read it
[italics]once[end italics] thro', -- yet, as there are many things [italics]in[end italics] the book which I should like to read oftener than once, I do not feel quite satisfied, & would bespeak a second loan [...] It is certainly a wonderful work, -- & less wonderful in the extent & depth of its learning, than in the felicity & aptitude & vivacity of that learning's application.' |
