George Eliot (1819-1880) was one of the leading writers of the
Victorian period and she remains one of Britain's greatest
novelists. This biography offers new insights into Eliot's life and
work focusing on the themes, patterns, relationships, feelings and
language common to both her life and writing. Barbara Hardy
discusses Eliot's relations with parents and siblings, her brave
but joyful unmarried partnership with George Henry Lewes, her
friendships and her late brief marriage to the younger John Cross.
Setting her life and fiction side by side, Hardy reveals Eliot's
ideas about society, home, foreignness, nature, gender, religion,
sex, illness and death and her experiences as translator,
journalist, editor and novelist. Drawing on letters, journals,
journalism and the memoirs and biographies written by
contemporaries, Hardy brings together a biographical approach with
close reading of Eliot's novels to give a combined perspective on
her life and art. This book offers students, academics and readers
alike an illuminating portrait of George Eliot as a woman and a
writer.
