Mary Ann Evans aka George Eliot
Hi All,
This might be too much but I cant help but post the full book about George Eliot.Its called Experiments in Life; George Eliot's Quest for Values by Bernard J. Paris.There are many reasons for posting the full book:
1) I love George Eliot
2) I love George Eliot, and
3) This is my Blog. I rule!!!
So, here is the book (where? where?). Here is a brief lowdown on the book itself.
Since F. R. Leavis included George Eliot within the Great Tradition, there have been a number of studies both of her life and of her works. None, however, attempts what I try to do here. For another book which examines her ideas in relation to her time, and her art in relation to her ideas, we must go back to George Willis Cooke's , first published in 1883. I do not mean to say that there has been no interest in her ideas; critics continually cite her humanism as one of the main reasons why we find her so interesting. But recent students of George Eliot have been primarily concerned with her technique, with analyzing her formal qualities and establishing her greatness as an artist. My study of her intellectual development and of the ways in which she employed her novels in her quest for values in a Godless universe will, I hope, contribute to a more complete appreciation of her achievement. (Bernard J. Paris, Preface)
Now what U make of the book is solely up to U but I have done my job.
Bye for now!!!
Dont forget to post a comment on this blog so that I know that U were here.
