Frances Anne Kemble : Francis the First, an Historical Drama

Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 10 July 1832: 'I have read Miss Fanny Kemble's tragedy [...] It seems to me to be a very clever & indeed surprising production as from the pen of a young person; but I think that from any other pen, it would not find readers. The dialogue is sometime very spirited & ably done; but the poetry is seldom good as poetry'.
