George Eliot's work has been subject to a wide range of critical questioning, most of which relates her substantially to a Victorian context and intellectual framework. This book examines the ways in which her work anticipates significant aspects of writing in the twentieth and indeed twenty first century in regard to both art and philosophy. This new book presents a series of linked essays exploring Eliot's credentials as a radical thinker. Opening with her relationship to the Romantic tradition, Newton goes on to discuss her reading of Darwinism, her radical critique of Victorian values and her affiliation with the modernists. The final essays discuss her work in relation to Derridean themes and to Bernard Williams' concept of moral luck. What emerges is a very different Eliot from the conservative figure portrayed in much critical literature. 2022-10-14T14:52:00Z 2022-10-14T14:52:00Z 2011 book ONIX_20221014_9781849664998_26 9781849664998 9781849664981 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58695 eng application/pdf n/a 9781849664998.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781849665155 10.5040/9781849665155 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781849664998 9781849664981 Bloomsbury Academic 240 London open access |
