First published in 1984. Although Middlemarch was extravagantly
praised by Henry James, Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf, it is
only in the last few decades that the novel has been widely
recognised as George Eliot's finest work, one of the greatest
English novels, and one of the classic texts of nineteenth-century
fiction. The intellectual, religious and aesthetic background to
Middlemarch are fully examined, with particular attention paid to
Eliot's key doctrines of fellow-feeling and the humanistic economy
of salvation. Professor McSweeney also provides fresh and
thought-provoking discussions of the role of the omniscient
narrator, and of character and characterisation. This title will be
of interest to students of literature.
