The Literary Examiner [Review of The Mill on the Floss]
Title
The Literary Examiner [Review of The Mill on the Floss]
Description
- "It is worth while to inquire why one of the cleverest books of the day should be nearly the most tedious. There is more evidence of the author's natural wit in <I>The Mill of the Floss</I> than there was in 'Adam Bede,' and a good natural wit is the first qualification of a story-teller."
