George Eliot is one of the most important women novelists of the
19th century. Throughout her writings, she explores the
interconnectedness of the self and society. This theme of
interconnectedness creates the social, psychological, and religious
worlds of her fictional communities. Eliot distinguished herself
from other Victorian novelists through her realism, her use of an
engaging narrator, and her indebtedness to thinkers such as Comte,
Mill, and Darwin.
The essays assembled in this book represent the best criticism
of Eliot's novels from the 19th century to the present day. The
essays are grouped in sections devoted to particular novels, and
within each section the essays are arranged chronologically to
chart the evolving critical response to her work. An introductory
chapter briefly overviews the philosophical influences on Eliot's
novels, and a bibliography of selected additional readings
concludes the book. The volume summarizes the critical response to
Eliot's work and documents changing views toward her novels.
