Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of George Eliot, Vol. 18: Life of George Eliot "Nov. 22, 1819. - Mary Ann Evans was born at Arbury Farm, at five o'clock this morning." This is an entry Mr. Robert Evan's hand-writing on the page of an old diary that now lies before me, and records, with characteristic precision, the birth of his youngest child, afterwards known to the world as George Eliot. Let us pause for a moment to pay its due homage to the precision, because it was in all probability to this most noteworthy quality of her father's nature that the future author was indebted for one of the principal elements of her own after success, - the enormous faculty for taking pains. The baby was born on St. Cecilia's day, and Mr. Evans, being a good Churchman, takes her, on the 29th November, to be baptised in the church at Chilvers Coton, - the parish in which Arbury Farm lies, - a church destined to impress itself strongly on the child's imagination, and to be known by many people in many lands afterwards as Shepperton Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inner Life of George Eliot Jew and Gentile, the book may still be a Gospel. I know quite well that it will be said again that, in Daniel Deronda, the moralist eat up the artist. I deny that. Once it is seen that George Eliot's art is the fruit of her impassioned morality, that it is insep arable from it, and that her real kinship is with the best of the old Hebrew Prophets, such criticism will lose all force. Of course, I do not claim that Daniel Deronda is not open to severe criticism in parts, but I do say that in it George Eliot reached heights and depths which she touched in no other work, and that whatever its failures, a book that contains such a creation as Mordecai becomes of imperishable value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Eliot The extensive literature which has appeared con cerning the life and writings of George Eliot ranges from brief notices to formidable volumes covering the period of her whole life, and includes the criticism of the foremost litterateurs and even the testimony of George Eliot herself. Far the most important of all, so far as her personality is concerned, is her life as told in the volumes of extracts from her diary and let ters which were edited by her husband, Mr. Cross, and published in 1885. The first to appear of the separate volumes treat ing of George Eliot's life and writings was that by Mathilde Blind, written just after the great novelist's death and published in London and Boston in 1883, at a time when retrospective interest in George Eliot's life was naturally the keenest. A good deal of critical and some biographical material had been previously published in scattered places, but this was the first attempt to gather it together and summarize it much additional matter was also included, so that Miss Blind's book could not be looked upon as a mere compilation.

Download or read book George Eliot a Critical Study of Her Life Writings and Philosophy Classic Reprint written by George Willis Cooke and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from George Eliot a Critical Study of Her Life, Writings and Philosophy The publication of a new edition of this work permits me to say that the essay on "The Lady Novelists," quoted in the seventh chapter, was written by George Henry Lewes. Its opinions, however, are substantially those of George Eliot, and they will be found in harmony with her own words. Confessing to the error, I yet venture to let the quotations, and the comments on them, stand as at first made. The three poems mentioned on page 75, were among the latest of the productions of George Eliot's pen. It has been suggested to me that I have not done perfect justice to George Henry Lewes, especially in what I say of his books on the Spanish drama and the life of Goethe. I have carefully reconsidered what I wrote of him, and find no occasion for any change of judgment, though two or three words might properly give place to others of a more appreciative meaning. My book has met with much greater praise than I could have expected. Its errors, I have no doubt, are quite numerous enough; and yet I venture to think the main thought of the book is correct.

Dickens's favorite theme low In the great city of London; Thackeray's, the higher social stratum. Sir Walter gave us a vivid picture of Scotland such as no one else ever attempted, while George Eliot pre ferred the rural life of the lviidlands of Eng land. Here she was thoroughly at home. The daughter of a prosperous land-agent, whose daily life was not above that of the plain country-folk who were his neighbors, she was, throughout her youth, in daily con tact with farmers and their wives, country parsons and dissenting preachers, village doctors and rural schoolmasters, while now and then her father's business connection with several of the wealthiest estates in Eng land gave her an opportunity to visit the most aristocratic homes of the vicinity.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boys and Girls From George Eliot Among the novels of the great English writer, George Eliot (mary Ann Evans), it is the exception to find one which does not contain a pretty picture of child life. And always the children are bright, active, normal children, who even when they have nothing to do with the develop ment of the plot, yet are great additions to the novels from which they are taken, just because they are such true pictures of boys and girls as they exist in everyday life. It is for this reason that they have been thought worthy of being gathered together in a single volume. If the boys and girls who read about them are interested in Tom and Maggie, a true history of George Eliot's youthful experience with the brother only three years older than herself; in Eppie, the weaver's adopted daughter; and in the other children whose pranks and pastimes are here related, - and if they follow up these stories by turning to the books from which they have been taken, then will the volume have served its purpose well; for only as a means to an end, and that end the reading of George Eliot's novels by the young people of to-day, has it been compiled.

Says the well-regu lated mind, which unintermittingly re J oices in the New Police, the Tithe Commutation Act, the penny-post, and all guarantees of human advancement, and has no moments when con servative-reforming intellect takes a nap, while imagination does a little Toryism by the sly, revelling in regret that dear, old, brown, crum bling, picturesque inefficiency is everywhere giving place to spick-and-span, new-painted, new-varnished efficiency, which will yield endless diagrams, plans, elevations, and sections, but, alas! No picture. Mine, I_ fear, is not a well regulated mind. It has an occasional tenderness for old abuses it lingers with a certain fondness over the days of nasal clerks and top -booted parsons, and has a sigh for the departed shades of vulgar errors. So it is not surprising that I recall with a fond sadness Shepperton Church as it was in the old days, with its outer coat of rough stucco, its red-tiled roof, its heterogeneous windows patched with desultory bits of painted glass, and its little flight of steps with their wooden rail running up the outer wall, and lead ing to the schoolchildren's gallery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Works of George Eliot, Vol. 17: Poems It must not be supposed that this is by any means a matter of mere fluency, correctness, or ease of numbers. Macaulay wrote verses far su perior in these particulars to many of Mr. Henry Taylor's and many of Wordsworth's. Yet verse was, unequivocally, Macaulay's left-hand; and after adolescence, few people can read his verse for poetry. If I were not unwilling to rouse the prejudice of (i fear!) most of my readers, I should here add Edgar Poe; and, indeed, I really cannot Spare him as an illustration. He must have some queer hybrid place, all to himself (which it would take an essay to define) but though he may be said to have felt verse his right-hand medium of expression, some few of us hesitate to call him a poet. Not to complicate this matter, let us come at once to the point. What is it that in excellent verse differentiates 1 that which is poetry and that which is not? Not mere fluency, but unconscious fluency; in a word, simplicity. Whatever art may do for the poet, he must be a simple musician to begin with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of George Eliot, Vol. 3: George Eliot's Life as Related in Her Letters and Journals The new year of 1867 opens with the description of the journey to Spain. We enjoyed our stay in Paris, in order to see Madame Mohl, who was very good to us: invited the Scherers and other interesting people to meet us at dinner on the 29th, and tempted us to stay and breakfast with her on the 31st, by promising to invite Renan, which she did successfully, and so procured us a bit of experience that we were glad to have, over and above the pleasure of seeing a little more of herself and M. Mohl. I like them both, and wish there were a chance of knowing them better. We paid for our pleasure by being obliged to walk in the rain (from the impossibility of getting a carriage) all the way from the Rue de Rivoli - where a charitable German printer, who had taken us up in his fiacre, was obliged to set us down - to the Hotel du Helder, through streets literally jammed with carriages and omnibuses, carrying people who were doing the severe social duties of the last day in the year. The rain it raineth every day, with the exception of yesterday: we can't travel away from it apparently. But we start in desperation for Bayonne in half an hour.

Download or read book George Eliot Authors in Context written by Tim Dolin and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005-01-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Novels such as Middlemarch and The Mill on the Floss reflect Eliot's complex and sometimes contradictory ideas about society, the artist, the role of women, and the interplay of science and religion. 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. The book includes a chronology of Eliot's life and times, suggestions for further reading, websites, illustrations, and a comprehensive index.
