| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 10 July 1832:
'I have read Miss Fanny Kemble's tragedy [...] It seems to me to be a very clever & indeed
surprising production as from the pen of a young person; but I think that from any other pen,
it would not find readers. The dialogue is sometime very spirited & ably done; but the poetry
is seldom good as poetry'. |
