Title

Wise, Witty and Tender Sayings in Prose and Verse, selected from the Works of George Eliot

Description

  • “This is not the place in which to attempt to give an exposition of George Eliot's genius, or an analysis of any of her works. But it may be allowed me to say, that I think I only express the ripest fruit of sound critical inquiry when I affirm, that what Shakespeare did for the Drama, George Eliot has been, and still is, doing for the Novel.”
