Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work contributes original, sometimes surprising readings of these three novels. The detailed textual examination of encounters between Eliot's characters refresh one's sense of the complexity and centrality of these moments. The study's greatest contribution is in its union of the fields of philosophy and ethics with that of literature, using the theories of Emmanuel Levinas and Martin Buber. It also includes a re-evaluation of the writer's use of Feuerbach, and a fresh look at Eliot's views on morality, duty, sympathy, and imagination.

Book Synopsis The Ethical Vision of George Eliot by : Thomas Albrecht
Download or read book The Ethical Vision of George Eliot written by Thomas Albrecht and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ethical Vision of George Eliot is one of the first monographs devoted entirely to the ethical thought of George Eliot, a profoundly significant, influential figure not only in nineteenth-century English and European literature, nineteenth-century women’s writing, the history of the novel, and Victorian intellectual culture, but also in the field of literary ethics. Ethics are a predominant theme in Eliot’s fictional and non-fictional writings. Her ethical insights and ideas are a defining element of her greatness as an artist and novelist. Through meticulous close readings of Eliot’s fiction, essays, and letters, The Ethical Vision of George Eliot presents an original, complex definition of her ethical vision as she developed it over the course of her career. It examines major novels like Adam Bede, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda; many of Eliot’s most significant essays; and devotes two entire chapters to Eliot’s final book Impressions of Theophrastus Such, an idiosyncratic collection of character sketches that Eliot scholars have heretofore generally overlooked or ignored. The Ethical Vision of George Eliot demonstrates that Eliot defined her ethical vision alternately in terms of revealing and strengthening a fundamental human communion that links us to other persons, however different and remote from ourselves; and in terms of recognizing and respecting the otherness of other persons, and of the universe more generally, from ourselves. Over the course of her career, Eliot increasingly transitions from the former towards the latter imperative, but she also considerably complicates her conception of otherness, and of what it means to be ethically responsible to it.

Book Synopsis Antipodean George Eliot by : Margaret Harris
Download or read book Antipodean George Eliot written by Margaret Harris and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Middlemarch, George Eliot famously warns readers not to see themselves as the centre of their own world, which produces a ‘flattering illusion of concentric arrangement’. The scholarly contributors to Antipodean George Eliot resist this form of centrism. Hailing from four continents and six countries, they consider Eliot from a variety of de-centred vantage points, exploring how the obscure and marginal in Eliot’s life and work sheds surprising light on the central and familiar. With essays that span the full range of Eliot’s career—from her early journalism, to her major novels, to eccentric late works such as Impressions of Theophrastus Such—Antipodean George Eliot is committed to challenging orthodoxies about Eliot’s development as a writer, overturning received ideas about her moral and political thought, and unveiling new contexts for appreciating her unparalleled significance in nineteenth-century letters.

So everybody must be vigilant: YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW. George Eliot displays this Universal Law in her novels -including Adam Bede, Middlemarch and Silas Marner - very accurately in an artistic way.What every character does is like a hunter that hunts, inevitably, the doer of the act, at the end.No evil act can be hidden forever and No virtuous act is remained unrewarded forever. Therefore, all sinners must expect to face the consequences of their terrible immoral acts. This book analyzes the characters of Eliot 's three major works according to her philosophy of Moral Determinism to show how every character faces his/her destiny

Book excerpt: 'Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe' is the third novel by George Eliot. The novel is set in the early years of the 19th century. Silas Marner, a weaver, is a member of a small Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard, a slum street in Northern England. He is falsely accused of stealing the congregation's funds while watching over the very ill deacon. Two pieces of evidence implicate Silas: a pocket knife, and the discovery in his own house of the bag formerly containing the money. There is the strong suggestion that Silas' best friend, William Dane, has framed him, since Silas had lent his pocket knife to William shortly before the crime was committed.

Book Synopsis The Essays of George Eliot by : George Eliot
Download or read book The Essays of George Eliot written by George Eliot and published by 谷月社. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. Since the death of George Eliot much public curiosity has been excited by the repeated allusions to, and quotations from, her contributions to periodical literature, and a leading newspaper gives expression to a general wish when it says that “this series of striking essays ought to be collected and reprinted, both because of substantive worth and because of the light they throw on the author’s literary canons and predilections.” In fact, the articles which were published anonymously in The Westminster Review have been so pointedly designated by the editor, and the biographical sketch in the “Famous Women” series is so emphatic in its praise of them, and so copious in its extracts from one and the least important one of them, that the publication of all the Review and magazine articles of the renowned novelist, without abridgment or alteration, would seem but an act of fair play to her fame, while at the same time a compliance with a reasonable public demand. Nor are these first steps in her wonderful intellectual progress any the less, but are all the more noteworthy, for being first steps. “To ignore this stage,” says the author of the valuable little volume to which we have just referred—“to ignore this stage in George Eliot’s mental development would be to lose one of the connecting links in her history.” Furthermore,“nothing in her fictions excels the style of these papers.” Here is all her“epigrammatic felicity,” and an irony not surpassed by Heine himself, while her paper on the poet Young is one of her wittiest bits of critical analysis. Her translation of Status’s “Life of Jesus” was published in 1840, and her translation of Feuerbach’s “Essence of Christianity” in 1854. Her translation of Spinoza’s “Ethics” was finished the same year, but remains unpublished. She was associate editor of The Westminster Reviewfrom 1851 to 1853. She was about twenty-seven years of age when her first translation appeared, thirty-three when the first of these magazine articles appeared, thirty-eight at the publication of her first story, and fifty-nine when she finished “Theophrastus Such.” Two years after she died, at the age of sixty-one. So that George Eliot’s literary life covered a period of about thirty-two years.
Book Synopsis The Professional Ideal in the Victorian Novel by : S. Colon
Download or read book The Professional Ideal in the Victorian Novel written by S. Colon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes the claim that Victorian novels do not simply reflect professional ideology; they also scrutinize its dilemmas, contradictions, and limitations. In this volume, innovative readings of canonical texts like Sybil, Barchester Towers, Romola, and Daniel Deronda accompany groundbreaking work on less familiar texts like Tancred and My Lady Ludlow to illuminate the Victorians' own struggles with the emerging professional ideology. The Victorians' engagement with fundamental ideas of professional identity such as autonomy, meritocracy, and the service ethic reveal professionalism's dual basis in materialist and idealist rationalities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethics of George Eliot's Works Herewith is offered to the American public a reprint of "the pretty little book" to which George Eliot refers in a letter addressed to Mr. John Blackwood, of the Edinburgh publishing firm, on the 28th of June, 1879. Here are her words: "Thank you for sending me the pretty little book. I am deeply touched by the account of its origin, and I remember well everything you said to me of Mr. Brown in old days when he was still with you. I had only cut a very little way into the volume when a friend came and carried it off; but my eyes had already been arrested by some remarks on the character of Harold Transome (pp. 28-30), which seemed to me more penetrating and finely felt than almost anything I have read in the way of printed comment on my own writing. When my friend brings back the volume I shall read it reverentially, and most probably with a sense of being usefully admonished. For praise and sympathy arouse much more self-suspicion and sense of short-coming than all the blame and depreciation of all the Pepins."

Download or read book Brother Jacob written by George Eliot and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brother Jacob by George Eliot is a parody and a satire on whiteness. Eliot criticizes the career path of a confectioner in light of the anti-slavery movement. Excerpt: "Among the many fatalities attending the bloom of young desire, that of blindly taking to the confectionery line has not, perhaps, been sufficiently considered. How is the son of a British yeoman, who has been fed principally on salt pork and yeast dumplings, to know that there is satiety for the human stomach even in a paradise of glass jars full of sugared almonds and pink lozenges and that the tedium of life can reach a pitch where plum-buns at discretion cease to offer the slightest excitement?"
