GEORGE ELIOT'S 'AGATHA' 1869-AND AFTER.

Contained in The Book Collector, Volume 6, No. 3, Autumn 1957. Pp. 217-328 (including advertisements), 10 plates; demy 8vo; printed stiff pink paper wrappers, a trifle canted, backstrip and bottom fore-corner of lower wrapper lightly creased, the backstrip also slightly faded and with a short horizontal split just below the printed date; The Shenval Press, London, 1957. *Carter's article speculating on whether Forman or Wise was more responsible for a forged George Eliot pamphlet is on pages 244-252. 'Whatever degree of shared responsibility with Wise for the production of the main group of forgeries may eventually be attached to Forman, and however tempting the assignment of Agatha B to a special position as a Forman-produced pioneer effort, the evidence that it belongs to the main group needs a deal of rebutting' [p. 252].
