Item 88 - Letter from W. J. Courthope to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Writes in reply to Sidgwick's own reply to his letter of 10 August. Fears that Sidgwick may not have fully appreciated the fact that he [Courthope] was genuinely grateful for the review of his work. Refers to some points raised by Sidgwick in his reply and refers back to the review in the Spectator. Concludes by expressing his surprise at the regard in which the Italian poet [Alessandro?] Tassoni is held by Sidgwick, who, according to Courthope, is one of the most negligent poets [he] know[s] in the construction of his story.'
