The Mill on the Floss [A Review]
Title
The Mill on the Floss [A Review]
Description
- "A good many persons probably---such is the vanity of human nature---would like to have written a novel which had such a high success as <I>Adam Bede</I>. Indeed, some portions of that book read so naturally and so easily---the characters had so little of the grand and the heroic, and the talk was so entirely that of this everyday world, that it might have been pardonable in some readers, inexperienced in pen-craft, to think that they <I>could</I> have written it themselves, if they had been so fortunate as to seize the idea."
