          <note>Text a version of the Faust myth. Source eds note that additional scene printed in the New Monthly Magazine, April 1840, accompanied by editorial note explaining that scene ""'has been written by way of rejoinder to our critique on the original Poem""'; eds also note that the Monthly Repository had already ceased publication when Festus appeared (see p.218 n.6 in source).</note>

          <ptr target="ukred-17306">Elizabeth Barrett to Richard Hengist Horne, letter postmarked 21 February 1844:

"[italics]Have[end italics] I read ""Festus""? Certainly I have [...] Oh yes! I was much struck by 
""Festus"" [...] Both the ""Festus"" &amp; the supplement apologetic to it, which appeared in the 
Monthly Repository (I think) filled me with admiration [...] Its [italics]fault[end italics] is an 
extraordinary inequality -- so really one falls down precipices continually; &amp; from pinnacles of 
grandeur, into profundities of badness. Parts of the poem are as bad, &amp; as weak as is well 
possible to be conceived of: and moreover [...] there is an occasional coarseness &amp; gratuitous 
indelicacy [...] Also, I will not say that there is not some over-daring in relation to divine 
things [...] But when all is said, what poet-stuff remains!"
