She Was Still Young
Live from Broadcasting House, London, where Christopher Kicks , Professor of English at Cambridge University, lectures to an invited audience.
' She was still young ' was the comment of Henry James on George Eliot 's death in 1880. Was she, Christopher Ricks asks, either when she died or when she started writing fiction in early middle age? How young had she ever been? What was she enabled to see and show, what was she disabled from seeing and showing, by coming so late to writing?
