Abstract

George Eliot Reconsidered
Macy, John | July 23, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article critically appraises the book "George Eliot," by J. Lewis May. George Eliot became an eminent person with an intellectual halo. Only a few men equaled her in distinction. May thinks that if people are to see her face, the intellectual halo should be removed; that her admirers have dehumanized. If biographers have been inclined to portray her in cap and gown, May has done good service in taking them off and showing her in whatever kind of ordinary clothes Victorian women wore. The value of her lies under the garments, in all parts of her, not solely in the head.
