Title
George Eliot has adopted a plan with the publication of Middlemarch...
Description
- George Eliot has adopted a plan with the publication of "Middlemarch," which undoubtedly has its advantages for herself, but certainly severely taxes the reader and still more severely the critic. In one sense George Eliot's novels bear publishing piecemeal better than any other writer's. Like all great masters, she makes those pauses and gives us those breaks which are so necessary for repose in the enjoyment of a work of art.
