George Eliot to Sara Sophia Hennell, 15 November 1846. “The review of Strauss contains some very just remarks, though, on the whole I think it shallow and in many cases unfair. The praise it gives to the translation is just what I should have wished -- indeed I cannot imagine anything more gratifying in the way of laudation. Is it not droll that Wicksted should have chosen one of my interpolations or rather paraphrases to dilate on? The expression "granite," applied to the sayings of Jesus is nowhere used by Strauss, but is an impudent addition of mine to eke out his metaphor.” GEL 1: 227
