AN EXCELLENT THING IN A WOMAN
Since I can do no good because a woman,
Reach constantly at something that is near it.
—THE MAID’S TRAGEDY :
BEAUMONT AND FLETCHER
In Middlemarch (1871–1872), George Eliot
George Eliot (pseudonym of Marian Evans) chose to evoke the struggles of her heroine Dorothea Brooke with these lines from a seventeenth-century play by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, members of the King’s Men—the company of actors to which Shakespeare belonged for most of his career.
She’s not pretty, she’s not wearing rouge.
—SAINTE-BEUVE
In The Red and the Black (1830), Stendhal
