George Eliot to Sara Sophia Hennell, 22 May 1857. “Tell me when you have read the life of Currer Bell. Some people think its revelations in bad taste -- making money out of the dead -- wounding the feelings of the living etc. etc. What book is there that some people or other will not find abominable? We thought it admirable – cried over it -- and felt the better for it. The article on it in the Leader -- Th. Hunt's, I dare say – did not give a sufficiently high idea of its interest.” GEL 2: 330
