George Eliot's Middlemarch [Review]
Title
George Eliot's Middlemarch [Review]
Description
- Whatever the value of "the higher criticism," it can hardly be denied that criticism of a mere commencement cannot very easily be criticism of "the higher" kind, --that it must at least be tentative and provisional, --that the most sharp-sighted critic can hardly be able to see all that a really great author like George Eliot intends by suggestions of which the development is still in reserve, and characters of which only the first outlines are displayed.
