Reading Experience:

Evidence:
Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 30 October 1838: 'I did not receive Finden immediately. I had desired Papa to unpack & take possession of it -- because I fancied [...] it might be a pleasure to him. From this arrangement I have scarcely finished my own vision of the beautiful volume [goes on to discuss contents of anthology in detail, praising Mitford's pieces in it, as well as other contents including poetry by Richard Edwin Austin Townsend, John Chorley, and Henry Chorley; also thanks Mitford, editor of volume, for manner in which she presented Barrett's own contribution, 'The Romaunt of the Page']'.
