The Cambridge introduction to George Eliot - Henry, Nancy, 1965- (Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2008)
As the author of The Mill on the Floss and Middlemarch, George Eliot was one of the most admired novelists of the Victorian period, and she remains a central figure in the literary canon today. She was the first woman to take on the kind of political and philosophical fiction that had previously been a male preserve, combining rigorous intellectual ideas with a sensitive understanding of human relationships and making her one of the most important writers of the nineteenth century.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-122) and index.
