Michael Davis

George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Psychology (eBook, ePUB)

Exploring the Unmapped Country

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study of Eliot as a psychological novelist examines her writings in the context of a large volume of nineteenth-century scientific writing. Michael Davis aligns Eliot's work with the formulations of such key thinkers as Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin, T. H. Huxley, and G. H. Lewes, showing how Eliot manipulated scientific language and pointing to the potentially theological significance of the complexity of mind which Eliot expresses through her imaginative use of scientific concepts.
