George Henry Lewes to Alfred Tennyson, 18 June 1877. “We have just read ‘Harold’ (for the first time) and ‘Mary’ (for the fourth) and greatly wished you had been here to read certain scenes, especially that masterly interview between Harold and William, or that most pathetic close of Mary. It is needless for me to say how profound a pleasure both works have given us. They are great contributions, and your wretched critics, who would dissuade you from enriching Literature with such dramas must be forgiven "for they know not what they say."” GEL 9: 195
