Evidence

1854-12-31: "Sunday. Dec. 31. Translated passages from Kestner's letters. Began Stahr's Torso. Read, after coffee, G's MS. Then we went to Fraulein Solmar's- not at home. Came back and G read Coriolanus. I read some of Stahr to him, but we found it too long-winded a style for reading aloud." Diary 1854-1861 41
