ABSTRACT

Published 1842. Written by 19 Sept. 1834 when Spedding told T. he had ‘received by Douglas and John Heath divers of your compositions, albeit too few for my appetite: to wit, Sir Galahad which enjoys my unlimited admiration …’ (Letters i 117; also Heath MS, Mem. i 139). T. says ‘Sir Galahad who was intended for something of a male counterpart to St Agnes’ (Letters i 125; I 1605). See J. M. Kemble’s letter, Sir Launcelot (p. 97). Cp. The Holy Grail (p. 875).
