Middlemarch [A Review]
Title
Middlemarch [A Review]
Description
- "The second instalment of Middlemarch–– full though it is as ever of its Author’s royal genius, of clear-sighted wisdom, faithful delineation, and sharply-cut apothegm––is perhaps less interesting than the history of Miss Brooke, so movingly told in the first. It is true, indeed, that this may be very much owing to the singular and tantalising way in which the tale is issued–– a way which the public would hardly bear with were the Author and publishers less eminent than they are."
