Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 25 March 1845:
'Read George Sand's "Jeanne". It is full of beauty, of profound beauty & significance, .. & is pure besides [...] though the heroine is somewhat too divinely idiotic, -- of a stupidity, a little too gross. And yet I am scarcely sure now, .. although I felt so when I was reading the book -- it is a noble & singular conception, & gives proof of what may be called an heroic imagination.' |
