Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, 22 December 1843:
'I never saw [John Sterling']s book, although I have read many of his poems in Blackwood. He
falls, to my apprehension, into the class of respectable poets: good sense & good feeling,
somewhat dry & cold, and very level smooth writing, being what I discern in him.'

'As for his private occupations [during 1834], my father was still reading his Racine, Moliere, and Victor Hugo among other foreign literature; and had also dipped into Marurice's work Eustace Conway, which appears [from letters] to have been in great disfavour, and into Arthur Coningsby by John Sterling, "a dreary book"'.
