Abstract

George Eliot - I
April 2, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "George Eliot's Life," edited by J.W. Cross. The words of Lord Acton's have a real and important meaning, to which one shall recur; but, taken in their most obvious sense, they precisely contradict the judgment which ninety-nine readers out of a hundred have, one suspects, before this formed, and rightly formed, of Cross's book. If by "most interesting" be meant the book which most keenly interests most persons, it is difficult to believe that a single one of George Eliot's novels does not surpass in interestingness the whole of her written life.
