Adam Bede [A review of Adam Bede]
Title
Adam Bede [A review of Adam Bede]
Description
- "The office of the critic is for the most part to review books the destiny of which he is well aware is to live only in the memory of their hapless authors. The works of George Eliot are not of these--they are not mere pictures of manners, but true to the life, they have an eloquence of their own, and the infinite pathos which is to be found in the "faithful representation of commonplace things"
