George Eliot by V. Dodd, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

There have been several biographies of George Eliot but this is the first study to focus on her intellectual development. The book provides an analysis of the biographical and intellectual factors which encouraged George Eliot to decide upon fiction as her chosen mode of expression, and demonstrates how that decision was influenced by, and an echoing of, J. S. Mill's and Carlyle's critiques of philosophy. | George Eliot by V. Dodd, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
