But there is a Family Guy joke. (running joke) Where Brian keeps talking about writing his novel. After a while, Stewie keeps asking him how his book is coming along. And each time he asks, his voice goes up an octave or so.
Edward Casaubon is a main character in Middlemarch by George Eliot.
He marries Dorothea just for her to be his assistant.
