Richard Rowe : Episodes in an Obscure Life

From Elizabeth Missing Sewell's Journal, 15 August 1871, during visit to friends at Ashbourne Green, Derbyshire: 'I have been reading [italics]Episodes of an Obscure Life[end italics] [sic], and have made up my mind that I know as little of the life of the East End of London, or rather of the lives of the people, as I do of those of the angels. Write, or think, or work, as one may, there are thousands one could never reach, simply because one could not understand them.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Elizabeth Missing Sewell      Print: Unknown
