Adam Bede [A Review]
Title
Adam Bede [A Review]
Description
- "A novel of which the heroine is a Methodist female preacher, with "pale red hair!" Shades of Wesley and Whitefield! When Rowland Hill rescued a few sprightly bars of popular music from the Evil One---saying that it was "a shame he should have all the good tunes"---he could scarcely have looked forward to the day when this principle should be so extended as to wrest from that Power a large slice of his hereditary and lawful dominions, as they were then considered, novels and romance."
