Evidence: | [Sidney Biddell to Ellen Nussey, 15 February 1885:] 'I am having a great treat in Cross's "Life of George Eliot." Most wonderful woman! [...] Writing to a correspondent in June 1848, she says, "I have read 'Jane Eyre' [...] All self- sacrifice is good, but one would like it to be in a somewhat nobler cause than that of a diabolical law which chains a man soul and body to a putrefying carcase. However the book is interesting; only I wish the characters would talk a little less like the heroes and heroines of police reports."' |
