Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
American Unitarian minister George Willis Cooke (1848-1923) worked
for almost thirty years in Unitarian churches across the United
States before turning full-time to scholarly pursuits in 1900.
Cooke, a voracious reader who was largely self-taught, attended
Meadville Theological School in Illinois but never graduated. A
radical in theology and politics, he was drawn to the
transcendentalist authors and in 1881 published a critical study of
the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Cooke's George Eliot: A Critical
Study of her Life, Writings and Philosophy (1883) probably emerged
from those same philosophical impulses. The book was published just
after Blind's biography, but Cooke asserts that with a small
exception his work was complete when hers appeared; moreover, his
study prioritises the act of 'interpreting and criticising
[Eliot's] teachings' over the details of her life, and the book's
organisation reflects this hierarchy, giving insights into the
contemporary reception of George Eliot.
