Henry James characterized her as “magnificently ugly, deliciously hideous.”
But James also noted an interesting phenomenon about Eliot’s supposed ugliness: when she began to converse, her expression was one of such tenderness and sympathy that it left her interlocutor with an abiding sense of beauty. “Behold me, literally in love with this great horse-faced bluestocking!” James wrote after his first encounter with her.

At any rate, certain passages in Moby Dick are worth her complete works.
