Greatness Engendered
Author: Alison Booth
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501722808
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
The egotism that fuels the desire for greatness has been associated exclusively with men, according to one feminist view; yet many women cannot suppress the need to strive for greatness. In this forceful and compelling book, Alison Booth traces through the novels, essays, and other writings of George Eliot and Virginia Woolf radically conflicting attitudes on the part of each toward the possibility of feminine greatness. Examining the achievements of Eliot and Woolf in their social contexts, she provides a challenging model of feminist historical criticism.

George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Science
Author: Sally Shuttleworth
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521335843
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This study explores the ways in which George Eliot's involvement with contemporary scientific theory affected the evolution of her fiction. Drawing on the work of such theorists as Comte, Spencer, Lewes, Bain, Carpenter, von Hartmann and Bernard, Dr Shuttleworth shows how, as Eliot moved from Adam Bede to Daniel Deronda, her conception of a conservative, static and hierarchical model of society gave way to a more dynamic model of social and psychological life.

George Eliot, European Novelist
Author: John Rignall
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409422356
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Reading George Eliot as a European novelist among other European novelists, John Rignall explores her use of European travel, scenes and locations in her fiction and also places her novels in conversation with the work of other major European writers. Throughout Rignall shows Eliot's engagement with the cultures of France and Germany, suggestively making the case that Eliot's novels belong to the tradition of the European novel that descends from Cervantes.
