First published in 1990, this paperback reintroduces a major contribution to our understanding of George Eliot's fiction, in which the author explores the different critical paradigms that have shaped the remarkably varied reception that Eliot's fiction has received. Basing his study on contemporary theories of literary criticism, with particular reference to the work of Jauss, Perkin provides important insights not only into the novels of George Eliot, but also into current critical debates about literary history. The book begins by offering extended and perceptive discussions of the Victorian reviews of Adam Bedeand Daniel Deronda, before examining the critical opinions of Henry James. The author then turns to more recent critics, in particular Virginia Woolf, F.R. Leavis, Barbara Hardy and J. Hillis Miller, and includes Marxist and feminist accounts of Eliot; there is also an in-depth and challenging reappraisal of Eliot's most underrated novel Felix Holt, the Radical. J. Russell Perkin teaches English at St Mary's University in Halifax, Novia Scotia, Canada.
