This is... funny...?

So while looking at various reception articles, I came across this very strange series of "reviews" featured in the George Eliot -- George Henry Lewes Studies (volume 44-45) regarding the BBC Daniel Deronda production. Some of the comments are surprisingly kind of funny:

"There's little surprise in a corset."

"Grandcourt's name might as well be 'Lord Potato Dauphinoise of Grand Guffawing Castle'..."

Of the director of the movie himself:

"very good at narrative drive, but deaf to nuance"
