| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 30 November 1844:
'Of [italics]Sandeau[end italics] I have read very little. His "Marianna" has power in its way
[...] but acclimatation is a necessary precaution -- for the passion of the book exceeds the
comprehension of an Englishman by leagues of extravagance. It's a melancholy, desecrating
book'. |
