“I have been reading the “Noble Kinsmen,” in which, with the exception of that lovely scene, to which you added so much grace in reading to me, I have been disappointed. The Jailor’s Daughter is a poor imitation, and deformed. The whole story wants moral discrimination and modesty. I do not believe Shakspeare wrote a word of it.”
From Percy in Florence to Mary.
I don’t know of The Jailor’s Daughter. Was it retitled? Disproved as Shakespeare’s work?
Was Shelley insistent on moral discrimination and modesty? Sorry, I’ve heard to the contrary.
