Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Thomas Westwood to Elizabeth Barrett, 24 August 1843: 'I intended to return the book much earlier, but [...] the "Legend" was most peremptory in its demand to be read & re-read & then it positively refused to go back, till a copy had been made. So we were obliged to set a nimble little hand to work, & can now part with the volume, with the satisfactory feeling that all we most value in it, we have made our own. I cannot tell you how much I admire the poem, for every time I read it -- my liking increases.'
