Summary "Aspects and Impressions" by Edmund Gosse is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This work primarily explores the lives and works of notable literary figures, including George Eliot and Henry James, while also delving into various aspects of literary criticism and cultural reflections of the time. At the start of the book, the author reflects on his impressions of the renowned novelist George Eliot, sharing a poignant encounter and observations about her life and literary impact. Gosse describes Eliot as a significant figure in English literature, recounting her powerful presence and the reverberations of her fame during her lifetime. The opening portion delves into her relationships with contemporaries, her unique writing style, and the contrasted views held about her work, setting a tone for a thoughtful critique and homage to influential writers of the past.
