George Eliot and Mrs. Humphry Ward

Title

George Eliot and Mrs. Humphry Ward

Description

  • "'Moderate your transports, Marchioness,' said Mr. Richard Swiveled to his titled friend upon a celebrated occasion, and the advice might be opportunely repeated to more than one critic and the reader of the present day. Our danger is the opposite to that of the time in which Scotch reviewers were not only hard on English bards, but chary of praise to any newcomer."
