George Eliot to Charles Bray, [?] December 1842. “I send you the first part of Wallenstein with the proposition that we should study that in conjunction with the Thirty years' war, as I happen to have a loose copy. We had better omit the Lager and begin Die Piccolomini. The other part is Wallenstein's Tod. You shall have Joan of Arc, my grand favourite as a bonne bouche when you have got through Wallenstein, which will amply repay you for any trouble in translating it, and is not more difficult than your reading ought to be now. I have skimmed Manzoni, who has suffered sadly in being poured out of silver into pewter. The chapter on Philosophy and Theology is worth reading. Miss Brabant sent me my Hyperion with a note the other day. She had put no direction besides Coventry and the parcel had consequently been sent to some other Miss Evans and my choice little sentimental treasures alas! exposed to vulgar gaze. Miss B. begs me to tell her all I know of Rosehill and the inhabitants of "that Paradise."…” GEL 1: 153-4
