George Eliot to Bessie Rayner Parkes, 5 November 1858. “Thanks for the October No. I have read the article on Domestic Life, but, very perversely, do not like the first part of it so well as your other articles. It wants their charm of concreteness and simple presentation -- seems to me too ambitious and abstract. I liked it better towards the end, and wished you had gone on longer.” GEL 2: 495
