| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 24 March 1832:
'When I had Payne Knight here, I took the trouble of counting the number of lines he has thought
proper to leave out of his Homer. If I make no mistake, about 2500 lines are left out of his
Iliad, and 1926, out of his Odyssey. Is not this atrox [horrible]?' |
