SD2056. George Birkbeck Hill to Annie Scott
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 24, 255 (in part).
Oxford
March 18, 1857
I am reading Aurora Leigh, which Swinburne lent me. It is surpassingly beautiful and noble, and pleases me not so very much less than Maud, which is indeed great praise. I am sure you, and every true woman, will like it, for of all books that I have read written by women it is the most worthy of them.
