George Eliot (born Mary Ann Evans, 1819-1880) was one of the most
important writers of the European nineteenth century, as well as a
pioneering translator of challenging and controversial Continental
thinkers, and an influential editor and essayist. Although such
novels of provincial life as Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss and
Middlemarch have seen her characterised as a thoroughly English
writer, her reception and immersion in the literary, intellectual
and political life of Europe was remarkable. Written by a team of
leading international scholars, The Reception of George Eliot in
Europe is the first comprehensive and systematic survey of Eliot's
place in European culture. Exploring Eliot's deep knowledge of
German literature and thought, her galvanizing influence on women
novelists and translators in countries as diverse as Sweden and
Spain, her travels in Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the
Czech Lands, Italy, and Spain and her friendship with leading
figures such as Mazzini, Turgenev, and Liszt, this study reveals
her full stature as a cosmopolitan writer and thinker. A film of
her Italian Renaissance novel Romola was one of the first to
circulate in Europe. Including an historical timeline and a
comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources and
translations, The Reception of George Eliot in Europe is an
essential reference resource for anyone working in the field of
Victorian Literature or the European nineteenth century.
