| Evidence: | John Wilson Croker to the Rev. George Croly, 28 November 1816:
'Though I have little time to read poetry,and notwithstanding all the charms of fashion, I read
more of Pope and Dryden than I do of even Scott and Byron; that is to say, I do not return to
Scott and Byron with the same regular appetite that I do to the others.' |
