As the author of The Mill on the Floss and Middlemarch, George
Eliot was one of the most admired novelists of the Victorian
period, and she remains a central figure in the literary canon
today. She was the first woman to take on the kind of political and
philosophical fiction that had previously been a male preserve,
combining rigorous intellectual ideas with a sensitive
understanding of human relationships and making her one of the most
important writers of the nineteenth century. This innovative
introduction provides students with the religious, political,
scientific and cultural contexts they need to understand and
appreciate her novels, stories, poetry and critical essays. Nancy
Henry also traces the reception of her work to the present,
surveying a range of critical and theoretical responses. Each novel
is discussed in a separate section, making this the most
comprehensive short introduction available to this important
author.
