| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Anna Brownell Jameson, mid-December 1847:
'We are going through some of old Sacchetti's novelets now: characteristic work for Florence,
if somewhat dull elsewhere [...] We got a newly printed addition to Savonarola's poems the
other day -- very flat & cold -- they did not catch fire when he was burnt. The most poetic
thing in the book, is his face on the first page, with that eager, devouring soul in the eyes of
it.' |
