George Eliot (Authors in Context) (Oxford World’s Classics)

In A Landmark Essay, Virginia Woolf Rescued George Eliot From Almost Four Decades Of Indifference And Scorn When She Wrote Of The 'searching Power And Reflective Richness' Of Eliot's Fiction.

In This Book Tim Dolin Examines Eliot's Life And Work And The Social And Intellectual Contexts In Which They Developed. He Also Explores The Variety Of Ways In Which 'george Eliot' Has Been Recontextualized For Modern Readers, Tourists, Cinema-goers, And Television Viewers.
