Reading Experience:

Evidence:

Harriet Martineau to Elizabeth Barrett, 1 August 1843: 'I owe to you many many moments of pleasure, some ideas (rare gifts in this age!) & no small feeling of complacency from your permission to my dear Mrs Reid to bring me your very noble poem, Pan Departed [sic]. The stanzas of that poem have run in my head, & raised my thought, ever since the first reading [...] May I add that I would sacrifice the whole poem, -- throw it into the fire, -- if the name & offices of Christ did not stand in it exactly as they do.'
