“Miss Baillie's plays on the passions hold a middle place. [...] 'Tis great pity that the authoress of De Montfort and Basil should not have attempted a narrative poem.”
Fuller, Margaret. Life Without and Life Within; or, Reviews, Narratives, Essays, and Poems. Edited by Arthur B. Fuller. Boston: Brown, Taggard and Chase, 1860. · p135
“Such are Festus, Paracelsus, Coleridge's Remorse, Shelley's Cenci; Miss Baillie's plays, though meant for action, and with studied attempts to vary them by the lighter shades of common nature [...] and Byron's are of the same class”
Fuller, Margaret. Papers on Literature and Art. New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1846.
Fuller names only 'Miss Baillie's plays' generically, so the title is the identified standard collection.
