Evidence: | 'My desultory and totally unorganised reading of George Eliot, Thackeray, Mrs Gaskell, Carlyle, Emerson and Merejkowski made little impression upon this routine, though their writings offered occasional compensation for its utter futility. "The reading of 'Romola,'" enthusiastically records my diary for April 27th, 1913, "has left me in a state of exultation!"' |
