About halfway through the book there is an excellent, charming scene in which Will and Dorothea speak alone in the library.
Eliot's insight, beautiful prose, humor, and lightness of touch are nowhere better.
Reading Middlemarch.
Lynne Schwartz reports she has been often called the greatest of 19th Century British novelists.
Maybe she is.
Her work is very fine.
