The Poetry of George Eliot

Title

The Poetry of George Eliot

Description

It has been somewhat the fashion to deny George Eliot the honor and credit of the name of poet. She has not had, the critics said, the dream and the consecration. She has not been admitted into that ideal realm where the poet sees his characters, penetrates their secrets, feels with them the agonies and ecstasies, and then descending to earth remembers and transcribes for a listening world.
