In this new study of George Eliot's fiction, textual attempts to
imagine a coherent and unified national past are seen as producing
a contradictory vision of Englishness. It is a historiographical
national identity, constructed in the image of predominant, and
conflicting, trends in the Victorian writing of history. The
inherent uncertainty caused by the shift between different
perceptions of English history leads, in the later fiction, to an
abandonment of contemporaneous grand narratives. The consequence is
a history that anticipates a more modern, radical philosophy of
history.
