Rezensionen

(Cercles, 1 June 2015)
"It is no surprise that this book is now available in paperback: compact and hugely suggestive, bringing us new things to think about, showing us old myths to discard; in its productive disruption of commonplace fact/fiction approaches to the life and works mode, it enriches and enlarges our understanding of the writer and her writings."
(The George Eliot Review, 1 November 2012)
"...this learned, adventurous new biographer has changed the landscape of George Eliot studies."
(The Guardian, 2 June 2012)
"Driven neither by hero-worship or spite, Henry's "critical biography" demonstrates what treasure there is still to be found in even the most worked-over subjects. The trick is to ask the questions that everyone else assumed had been answered years ago."
(The New Yorker, 6 August 2012)
"Henry provides a useful reminder that that old-fashioned pejorative, adulteress, might have been applied to Eliot as well as to Agnes, and she provides a sensitive analysis of the novels in the light of that insight."
