In this innovative study Nancy Henry introduces a set of facts that
place George Eliot's life and work within the contexts of
mid-nineteenth-century British colonialism and imperialism. Henry
examines Eliot's roles as an investor in colonial stocks, a parent
to emigrant sons, and a reader of colonial literature. She
highlights the importance of these contexts to our understanding of
both Eliot's fiction and her situation within Victorian culture.
Henry argues that Eliot's decision to represent the empire only as
it infiltrated the imaginations and domestic lives of her
characters illuminates the nature of her Realism. The book also
re-examines the assumptions of postcolonial criticism about
Victorian fiction and its relation to empire.
