| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 27 November 1842:
'I have just done reading a romance of Frederick Soulie's which begins with a violation & a
murder, & ends consistently with a murder & a violation, -- the hero who is the agent of this
"just proportion" being shut up at last & starved in a premature coffin, after having his eyelids
neatly sowed [sic] up by the fair fingers of his lady-love.'
