About this book
Mary Russell Mitford is a book by William James Roberts that includes a chapter headed Lyme Regis and Tragedy’s Shadow. The text says the move from London to Reading took place in 1797. Miss Mitford’s description of the place reads: clean, airy, orderly and affluent, abounding in wide and spacious streets, filled with excellent shops and handsome houses.
The text says Miss Mitford was devoting all the time she could spare to a fresh tragedy, the subject this time being the Venetian Doge Foscari. The text says that, as ill luck would have it, Byron had been working quietly at a play on the identical subject. The text says Mr. Kingsley called at the cottage and commenced a friendship which lasted until Miss Mitford’s death.
