George Eliot and the Conflict of Interpretations A Reading of the Novels

Two versions of George Eliot, both very influential, have emerged from the study of her life and work. One is the radical Victorian thinker, formidably learned in a whole range of intellectual disciplines; the other is the reclusive novelist, celebrating through her fiction the communal values which were being eroded in the modern world. This chronological study of the novels brings the two together and places her within the crisis of belief and value acted out in the mid-nineteenth century.Carroll, David is the author of 'George Eliot and the Conflict of Interpretations A Reading of the Novels' with ISBN 9780521403665 and ISBN 0521403669.
