Silvio Pellico : Prisons

'I also read again Silvio Pellico's "Prisons". I read it once at Granton- a lovely book (same edition) and "Adam Bede" and a French Novel and other new works. I like all Adam Bede immensely except the extremely inartistic plot. Geo. Eliot loves to draw self-righteious people with good instincts being led into crime or misery by circumstances.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Sir Walter Raleigh      Print: Book
