• Pauline Frederica Kiernan commented on Niranjana Iyer's article Women Doing Literary Things: Tina Biswas
    June 2011
    Thank you, Tina, for an astute and carefully-thought piece. I wonder how Naipaul would describe Eliot (George). Middlemarch is a study of male power, patriarchal authority, morality in politics, social mores, women in the marriage market, the...
