Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'The only link of which [Byron] was at this time [1811-12] conscious between him and Miss [Anne Isabella] Milbanke was his acquaintance with Joseph Blacket's poetry and fate. He thought slightingly of the poetry, as she was to learn; and not less slightingly of the patronage [from the Milbanke family] which, in his view, had done the poor young cobbler more harm than good.'
