Evidence: | '[During summer 1831] Hallam was at Hastings [...] After his holiday Hallam returned to his reading of law, and enjoyed "the old fellow Blackstone," culling for Alfred [Tennyson] poetic words like "forestal" [...] The friends exchanged thoughts on the political state of the world [...] Miss Austen's novels were read and compared. My father preferred Emma and Persuasion, and Hallam wrote, "Emma is my first love, and I intend to be constant. The edge of this constancy will soon be tried, for I am promised the reading of Pride and Prejudice."' |
