The book examines the duality of George Eliot as both a radical thinker and a reclusive novelist, highlighting her profound influence on Victorian literature. It explores her response to the mid-nineteenth-century crisis of belief and value, revealing her acute awareness of the breakdown of traditional interpretations of the world. Through a chronological analysis of her novels, the study illustrates how Eliot challenged and redefined Victorian fiction, dismantling various myths and ideologies while celebrating communal values in a changing society.
