Description

This groundbreaking study of George Eliot's intellectual development offers the first comprehensive examination of how biographical and philosophical influences shaped her decision to pursue fiction as her primary mode of expression. Authored by Valerie A. Dodd, the book traces the critical impact of J.S. Mill's and Carlyle's philosophical critiques on Eliot's literary evolution, moving beyond traditional biography to explore the deeper intellectual currents that defined her career. Unlike previous biographies, this Macmillan edition focuses specifically on the philosophical and personal factors that guided one of literature's most influential voices toward narrative fiction, providing readers with essential insight into how her theoretical understanding of philosophy directly informed her artistic choices. Essential reading for scholars of Victorian literature, literary theory, and the history of women's intellectual contributions to nineteenth-century thought.
