Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, 7 July 1843: 'Mr Kenyon was with me yesterday, and praised "Orion" most admiringly. He had read it only in parts yet, through a press of occupation, but he had from these parts, he said, the same sort of pleasure as from Keats's "Endymion" or "Hyperion;" and what particularly charmed him was the versification.'
