Book Synopsis Before George Eliot by : Fionnuala Dillane
Download or read book Before George Eliot written by Fionnuala Dillane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fionnuala Dillane revisits the first decade of Marian Evans's working life to explore the influence of the periodical press on her emergence as George Eliot and on her subsequent responses to fame. This interdisciplinary study discusses the significance of Evans's work as a journalist, editor and serial-fiction writer in the periodical press from the late 1840s to the late 1850s and positions this early career against critical responses to Evans's later literary persona, George Eliot. Dillane argues that Evans's association with the nineteenth-century periodical industry, that dominant cultural force of the age, is important for its illumination of Evans's understanding of the formation of reading audiences, the development of literary genres and the cultivation of literary celebrity.
Book Synopsis Memory and History in George Eliot by : Hao Li
Download or read book Memory and History in George Eliot written by Hao Li and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-04-18 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the interrelations between communal memory and the sense of history in George Eliot's novels by focusing on issues such as memory and narrative, memory and oblivion, memory and time, and the interactions between personal, communal and national memories. Hao Li offers a fresh critical reading informed by major nineteenth-century theories and argues for a reappraisal of George Eliot's complex understanding of the dialects of memory and history, an understanding that both integrates and transcends the positivist and the romantic-historical approaches of her time.
Book Synopsis My Life in Middlemarch by : Rebecca Mead
Download or read book My Life in Middlemarch written by Rebecca Mead and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Yorker writer revisits the seminal book of her youth--Middlemarch--and fashions a singular, involving story of how a passionate attachment to a great work of literature can shape our lives and help us to read our own histories. Rebecca Mead was a young woman in an English coastal town when she first read George Eliot's Middlemarch, regarded by many as the greatest English novel. After gaining admission to Oxford, and moving to the United States to become a journalist, through several love affairs, then marriage and family, Mead read and reread Middlemarch. The novel, which Virginia Woolf famously described as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people," offered Mead something that modern life and literature did not. In this wise and revealing work of biography, reporting, and memoir, Rebecca Mead leads us into the life that the book made for her, as well as the many lives the novel has led since it was written. Employing a structure that deftly mirrors that of the novel, My Life in Middlemarch takes the themes of Eliot's masterpiece--the complexity of love, the meaning of marriage, the foundations of morality, and the drama of aspiration and failure--and brings them into our world. Offering both a fascinating reading of Eliot's biography and an exploration of the way aspects of Mead's life uncannily echo that of Eliot herself, My Life in Middlemarch is for every ardent lover of literature who cares about why we read books, and how they read us.

Book Synopsis Silly Novels by Lady Novelists by : George Eliot
Download or read book Silly Novels by Lady Novelists written by George Eliot and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this essay, originally published anonymously in The Westminster Review (1856), George Eliot examines the state of women's fiction in her time. She lamentingly argues that absurd and banal novels, written by well-to-do women of her time, do great disservice for the overall appreciation of women's intellectual capacities. Eliot divides 'silly novels by lady novelists' into several distinct categories: the mind-and-millinery species, the oracular type and the white-neck-cloth variety. She writes with characteristic sharp wit and insightful intellect in this scathing (but not unfeeling) feminist critique of 'Silly Novels by Lady Novelists'. This edition includes illustrations from the books critiqued by Eliot, along with annotations. George Eliot (Marian/Mary Ann Evans) was born in Warwickshire England in 1819. She went on to become one of England's most astute nineteenth century writers. Eliot is the author of celebrated novels including Adam Bede (1859), Middlemarch (1871-1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). She also published non-fiction essays, poems and short stories, and was a skilled translator of German-language philosophy, including works by Strauss, Feuerbach and Spinoza. Eliot's writing is characterised by gritty realism entwined with deep empathy and keen insight into human life and ethics. Sarah Bacaller is a writer, researcher and audiobook producer from Melbourne, Australia.
