Hugh Witemeyer, Professor of English, University of New Mexico

Note 15 to Chapter 7 of the author's George Eliot and the Visual Arts, which Yale University Press published in 1979. It has been included in the Victorian web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.

See Davis, "Pictorialism in George Eliot's Art," pp. 28-43, and John Goode, "Adam Bede," p. 22. For an excellent analysis of the prose style of the pictorialized passages in Adam Bede, see Ian Adam, "The Structure of Realisms in Adam Bede," Nineteenth-Century Fiction, 30 (1975), 127-49.
