Why is it important?
This was the first full-length critical study of George Eliot's relationship with a particular range of nineteenth-century historical writings.
Perspectives
George Eliot's novels are extraordinarily rich and complex, yet despite the fact that her writing methodology so obviously drew on the approaches and philosophies of contemporaneous historians, there has been insufficient critical coverage of this dimension of her work. Hopefully this volume contributes to the wider attempt to redress the imbalance of coverage.
