Prodigiously learned, alive to the massive social changes of her
time, defiant of many Victorian orthodoxies, George Eliot has
always challenged her readers. She is at once chronicler and
analyst, novelist of nostalgia and monumental thinker. In her great
novel Middlemarch she writes of 'that tempting range of relevancies
called the universe'. This volume identifies a range of
'relevancies' that inform both her fictional and her non-fictional
writings. The range and scale of her achievement are brought into
focus by cogent essays on the many contexts - historical,
intellectual, political, social, cultural - to her work. In
addition there are discussions of her critical history and legacy,
as well as of the material conditions of production and
distribution of her novels and her journalism. The volume enables
fuller understanding and appreciation, from a twenty-first-century
standpoint, of the life and work of one of the nineteenth century's
major writers.
