| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 5 January 1843:
'Did I tell you that I have been reading through an M.S. translation of the Gorgias of Plato, by
a Mr Hyman of Oxford, who is a step-son of Mr Haydon's the artist? It is an excellent
translation with learned notes -- but it is [italics]not elegant[end italics]. He means to try the
public upon it -- but as I have intimated to him, the Christians of the present day are not
civilized enough for Plato.'
