Mr Jones treats the main novels in chronological sequence examining
with the aid of extensive quotation George Eliot's means of
description and characterisation and the moral purpose of her
fiction. He emphasises her appeal to the inner life of her readers,
as exemplified in her frequent use of such phrases as 'Have we not
all...' George Eliot assumes that no human act or emotion is
entirely unconnected with what we have all done or felt at some
time. Her sympathy with human weakness often carries her to the
point where she has difficulty in reconciling her tolerance with
her moral purpose. This book gives a useful introduction to George
Eliot's novels. As in the other books in the series British
Authors: Introductory Critical Studies, the author assesses his
subject simply and clearly, using as a basis the internal evidence
of the novels themselves rather than biographical detail.
