AFTER
"After the death of her husband in 1851 Mill married Harriet Taylor, his companion of two decades. Hard as later writers found it to accept, their long affair, though scandalous to friends and taxing to her complaisant husband, was probably not sexual. Harriet confided as much in letters. Carlyle, with his keen eye and sharp tongue, nicknamed her 'Platonica.'"
