Elizabeth Barrett to John Kenyon, 30 June 1843: 'I honor Mrs Coleridge for the readiness of reasoning & integrity in her reasoning, for the learning, energy & impartiality which she has brought to her purpose -- & I agree with her in many of her objects; & disagree, by opposing her opponents with a fuller front than she is always inclined to do [...] I have read the book in spite of prophecies. After all I shd like to cut it in two -- it wd be better for being shorter -- and it might be clearer also. There is in fact some dulness & perplexity [...] & what I cannot help considering a superfluous tenderness for Puseyism.'
