Elizabeth Barrrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 17 July 1837: 'Why should we [']'mere balladmongers" have so much to say of ourselves, when the "Country stories" lie cut & read upon the table? They have the Mitford-charm all over them! [..] The characteristic of your mind seems to be -- the power of bringing from the surfaces of things that freshness of beauty, which others seek from in the profundities of nature [...] Indeed it is a beautiful book'.
