Barrett Browning begins this letter discussing reviews of Horne’s ‘A New Spirit of the Age’. She says that despite the faults in the book, the greatest fault is ‘the envy, malice & all uncharitableness on every side of us’. She says she will send Horne proof sheets of her own works but ask that he be transparent and honest in his comments. She ends the letter commenting on Mary Howitt: ‘I wish that in this second edition of yours, you wd give Mary Howitt room to take her full stature. She appears in the book simply as MRS Howitt, William’s wife—whereas his reputation has grown from the stem of her’s. Her prose is inferior—but her poetry will live I think. Then Mrs Trollope is too hardly treated for justice’. A transcript of this letter is available online via The Brownings' Correspondence Project, numbered 1540. It is also published in 'The Brownings' Correspondence' (Kansas: Wedgestone Press, 1990), vol. 8, pp. 216–219. The dating of this letter is taken from the Browning Correspondence Project. A date is written in pencil on Sheet 1 (Dec 29 1843) but it is unclear when this was written and by whom.
