wIlI strive to answer the question,
How far did she draw her characters
and their surroundings from real life?'
saws Mr.. Olcott: George Eliot had
q marvellous memory, and apparently
could not help describing the scenes
that were dear to her girlhood and the
people whom she had known. She mas
denied that there were portraits in
Adam Bede,' and stated that there
would be none In her subsequent books.
But the consensus of opinion is that
she was far more realistic than she
was willing to admit. and that she
painted these portraits quite uncon-
9iously. However this may he, 1t is
certain that they add to the charm of
her work instead of detracting from
it,"
