Children in the Novels of George Eliot

Title

Children in the Novels of George Eliot

Description

  • "In George Eliot's other writings it might be easy to find more passion, more subtlety, more so-called spiritual fervor; a more obvious humour and a wider and more varied range of dramatic power; but perhaps there is not one of them which is so classic in its unity, simplicity, and self-involved completeness as <I>Silas Marner</I>."
