Recollections of Writers
Leigh Hunt to Mary Cowden Clarke, [February 1844?]
Victorianina Diavolina,—Friday by all means. I will be with you all on ditto at 2 o’clock.
Greatly pleased am I at hearing that Charles
is to be at home, for I began to think I should never see him till this time next
century. Herewith come the woodcuts I spoke of. We will talk farther of the subject
when we meet, and then I will put down, on the spot, any memorandums you like. I
shall quite look forward to Friday.
Ever, you devilish good people,
Most truly yours,
Charles Cowden Clarke (1787-1877)
The schoolmate and friend of John Keats; he lectured on Shakespeare and European
literature and published
Recollections of Writers (1878).
James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)
English poet, journalist, and man of letters; editor of
The
Examiner and
The Liberal; friend of Byron, Keats, and
Shelley.
