Dickens wrote to Forster on 25 August 1859: 'How fine the “Idylls” are! Lord! What a blessed thing is it to read a man who can write! I thought nothing could be grander than the first poem till I came to the third; but when I had read the last, it seemed to be absolutely unapproached and unapproachable' (Letters, Vol. 9 [OUP, 1997], p. 112). The book was published in 1859. Dickens's edition, being octavo, was probably the 'new edition' printed by Bradbury & Evans.
