This book examines the range of the colonial imaginary in Eliot's
works, from the domestic and regional to ancient and speculative
colonialisms. It challenges monolithic, hegemonic views of George
Eliot - whose novelistic career paralleled the creation of British
India - and also dismissals of the postcolonial as ahistorical. It
uncovers often-overlooked colonized figures in the novels. It also
investigates Victorian Islamophobia in light of Eliot's impatience
with ignorance, intolerance, and xenophobia as well as her
interrogation of the make-believe of endings. Drawing on a range of
sources from Eugene Bodichon's Algerian anthropological texts, the
Persian journals of John Martyn, and postmodern re-engagements,
Postcolonial George Eliot has implications for an understanding of
the globalization of English, the decolonization of disciplinarity
and periodization, and the roots of present-day conflict in the
wider Mediterranean world.
