Evidence

George Eliot to Sara Sophia Hennell, 5 November 1846. “I have been reading the ‘Fawn of Sertorius.’ I think you would like it, though the many would not. It is pure, chaste, and classic beyond any attempt at fiction I ever read. If it be Bulwer's he has been undergoing a gradual transfiguration, and is now ready to be exalted into the assembly of the saints.” GEL 1: 225
