Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters to an Enthusiast No apology is needed for offering to the public the following hitherto unpublished letters of Mary Cowden Clarke, who, added to her fame as a writer, has the twofold distinction of being the daughter and the sister of illustrious musicians, and the wife of an accomplished litterateur. Among her letters this modest fragment was found: "Mary Victoria Novello was a quiet, retiring child, plainish in person, simple in manner; and she advanced from girlhood to womanhood without giving token of possessing any distinguishing talent, among a generally gifted family. But she enjoyed the advantage of meeting, during her growth, some of the chief writers of the day, and this consociation stimulated her natural intelligence into literary attempts that took the shape of papers on various subjects, which appeared in print while the writer was in her fifteenth year."
