George Levine is one of the world's leading scholars of Victorian
literature and culture. This 2008 collection of his essays develops
the key themes of his work: the intersection of nineteenth-century
British literature, culture and science and the relation of
knowledge and truth to ethics. The essays offer perspectives on
George Eliot, Thackeray, the Positivists, and the Scientific
Naturalists, and reassess the complex relationship between Ruskin
and Darwin. In readings of Lawrence and Coetzee, Levine addresses
Victorian and modern efforts to push beyond the limits of realist
art by testing its aesthetic and epistemological limits in
engagement with the self and the other. Some of Levine's most
important contributions to the field are reprinted, in revised and
updated form, alongside previously unpublished material. Together,
these essays cohere into an exploration both of Victorian
literature and culture and of ethical, epistemological, and
aesthetic problems fundamental to our own times.
