Eliot's big party scenes have an origin in the last chapters of <i>The Devil's Pool</i>.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901980733463068698.post-5752475604126032642015-06-30T09:40:40.231+01:002015-06-30T09:40:40.231+01:00Tom,

I have no doubt that Eliot knew the novella. So maybe not like Eliot in the ways you note in your post, but in other ways, yes, similar.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901980733463068698.post-13958808694247529302015-06-29T21:15:51.156+01:002015-06-29T21:15:51.156+01:00Only read Marianne, which I believe was her last n...Only read Marianne, which I believe was her last novel.
