Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 9 July 1836: 'I remember daring to say to Sir Uvedale Price that I could not like Crabbe; and I remember -- how well! his taking the "Library" from the table and reading from it a passage to which he said his own attention had been directed by [Charles James] Fox, and which I could not choose but acknowledge to be fine poetry. But [...] I annexed to the acknowledgement a clause -- -- that the passage was not written in Crabbe's usual style. And dear Sir Uvedale [...] admitted at once that I was right.'
