It is well known that George Eliot's intelligence and her wide
knowledge of literature, history, philosophy and religion shaped
her fiction, but until now no study has followed the development of
her thinking through her whole career. This intellectual biography
traces the course of that development from her initial Christian
culture, through her loss of faith and working out of a humanistic
and cautiously progressive world view, to the thought-provoking
achievements of her novels. It focuses on her responses to her
reading in her essays, reviews and letters as well as in the
historical pictures of Romola, the political implications of Felix
Holt, the comprehensive view of English society in Middlemarch, and
the visionary account of personal inspiration in Daniel Deronda.
This portrait of a major Victorian intellectual is an important
addition to our understanding of Eliot's mind and works, as well as
of her place in nineteenth-century British culture.
