Johnstone demonstrates that Eliot's creative work was a constructive response to her sense of loss and that the repeating patterns in her novels reflect the process of release from her state of mourning for lost loved ones. 2024-04-03T10:08:18Z 2024-04-03T10:08:18Z 1994 book ONIX_20240403_9780814743973_22 9780814743973 9780814741948 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/89303 eng application/pdf application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International 9780814743973_WEB.pdf 9780814743973_EPUB.epub New York University Press NYU Press 10.18574/nyu/9780814743973.001.0001 10.18574/nyu/9780814743973.001.0001 7d95336a-0494-42b2-ad9c-8456b2e29ddc 9780814743973 9780814741948 NYU Press New York open access |

George Eliot has been widely praised both for the richness of her prose and the universality of her themes. In this compelling study, Peggy Fitzhugh Johnstone goes beyond these traditional foci to examine the role of aggression in Eliot's fiction and to find its source in the author's unconscious sense of loss stemming from traumatic family separations and deaths during her childhood and adolescence. Johnstone demonstrates that Eliot's creative work was a constructive response to her sense of loss and that the repeating patterns in her novels reflect the process of release from her state of mourning for lost loved ones. |
