| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Mary Russell Mitford, 30 April 1847:
'At Pisa, Robert read to me while I was ill [following miscarriage], & partly by being read to &
partly by reading I got through a good deal of amusing French book-work, & among the rest,
two volumes of Bernard's new ["]Gentilhomme Campagnard." Rather dull I thought it, but
clever of course -- dull for Bernard. Then we read "Le Speronare" by Dumas -- a delightful
book of travels.' |
