Evidence: | Elizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 14 September 1754:
'Have you ever read the "Cry?" [...] It never fell in my way till very lately, and I read it with low spirits, but upon the whole it pleased me mightily. There is sometimes rather too strong a spirit of refining in it, which I believe is the case in all Mrs Fielding's compositions, and she often puts me in mind of Tacitus. But is she not in general a most excellent writer?' |
