The works collected in this volume provide an illuminating
introduction to George Eliot's incisive views on religion, art and
science, and the nature and purpose of fiction. Essays such as
'Evangelical Teaching' show her rejecting her earlier religious
beliefs, while 'Woman in France' questions conventional ideas about
female virtues and marriage, and 'Notes on Form in Art' sets out
theories of idealism and realism that she developed further in
Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. It also includes selections from
Eliot's translations of works by Strauss and Feuerbach that
challenged many ideas about Christianity; excerpts from her poems;
and reviews of writers such as Wollstonecraft, Goethe and Browning.
Wonderfully rich in imagery and observations, these pieces reveal
the intellectual development of this most challenging and rewarding
of writers.
