George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Science: The Make-Believe of a Beginning
Sally Shuttleworth
This study explores the ways in which George Eliot's involvement with contemporary scientific theory affected the evolution of her fiction. Dr Shuttleworth shows how, as Eliot moved from Adam Bede to Daniel Deronda, her conception of a conservative, static and hierarchical model of society gave way to a more dynamic model of social and psychological life.
