Felix Holt [Review]

Title

Felix Holt [Review]

Description

  • If there is any fault in this rich and fascinating story, which, like almost all its predecessors from the same hand, will probably live as long as English literature, it is in an overflowing affluence of lively and striking detail, which hardly leaves room for that force, subtlety, and intensity in the carving out of the principal characters, which marked <em>Adam Bede </em>and <em>Romola</em>.
