| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Septimus Moulton-Barrett, 6 February 1840:
''Tell [Papa] too what I forgot to tell, that I have finished Shelley's volumes which, if it were not for the here & there defilement of his atrocious opinions [...] would have very deeply
delighted me. As it is there are traces of my pencil "[italics]in a passion[end italics]" as dear
Georgie [brother] would say. [goes on to criticise Shelley's translations from Plato in
particular]' |
