This collection brings together new articles by leading scholars who reappraise George Eliot in her bicentenary year as an interdisciplinary thinker and writer for our times. Here, researchers, students, teachers and the general public gain access to new perspectives on Eliot’s vast interests and knowledge, informed by the nineteenth-century British culture in which she lived. Examining Eliot’s wide-ranging engagement with Victorian historical research, periodicals, poetry, mythology, natural history, realism, the body, gender relations, and animal studies, these essays construct an exciting new interdisciplinary agenda for future Eliot studies.
“The aim of the collection is clearly to demonstrate that George Eliot is essential not only to the study of the Victorian period but also to a wide range of disciplines now, which helps to explain why the editors chose to focus on the categories they chose. On the occasion of Eliot’s two-hundredth birthday, the collection registers our continued commitment and indebtedness to this unique artist, thinker, and person.” (William Lee Hughes, Victorian Studies, Vol. 63 (1), 2020)
“This collection provides many thought-provoking avenues for future Eliot research, especially in its insights into Eliot’s engagement with the periodical press. … Nevertheless, everyone from new readers of Eliot to established scholarswill have much to learn from this collection.” (Michael Martel, Victorian Periodicals Review, Vol. 53 (2), 2020)
