Bücher von George Eliot

En los tiempos en que las ruecas zumbaban activamente en las granjas, en que las mismas grandes damas, vestidas de sedas y encajes, tenían sus pequeñas ruecas de encina lustrada, a veces se veía, ya sea en los caminos de los distritos apartados, ya sea en el seno profundo de las colinas, a ciertos hombres pálidos y enclenques que, comparados con las gentes vigorosas de los campos, parecían ser los últimos vestigios de una raza desheredada.El perro del pastor ladraba furioso cuando uno de esos hombres de fisonomía extraña aparecía en las alturas, y su fisonomía extraña se destacaba negra sobre el cielo, en el ocaso breve del sol de invierno; porque, ¿a qué perro no incomoda una persona encorvada bajo el peso de un fardo? Y aquellos hombres pálidos rara vez salían de su aldea sin aquella carga misteriosa.

While she is trapped in a compromising situation, Tom denies her altogether, but the siblings are accommodated in the end as they were trying in vain to survive the climactic flood. This novel is considered one of George Eliot's best achievements. The Mill on the Floss is famous for its accurate, expressive portrayal of English rural life and its significantly persuasive analysis of a woman's psychology.

La señorita Brooke poseía ese tipo de hermosura que parece quedar realzada por el atuendo modesto. Tenía las manos y las muñecas tan finas que podía llevar mangas no menos carentes de estilo que aquellas con las que la Virgen María se aparecía a los pintores italianos, y su perfil, así como su altura y porte, parecían cobrar mayor dignidad a partir de su ropa sencilla, la cual, comparada con la moda de provincias, le otorgaba la solemnidad de una buena cita bíblica ¿o de alguno de nuestros antiguos poetas¿ inserta en un párrafo de un periódico actual. Solían hablar de ella como persona de excepcional agudeza, si bien se añadía que su hermana Celia tenía más sentido común. Sin embargo, Celia apenas llevaba más perifollos y sólo el buen observador percibía que su vestimenta difería de la de su hermana y que su atuendo tenía un punto de coquetería; pues el sencillo vestir de la señorita Brooke se debía a una mezcla de circunstancias, la mayoría de las cuales compartía su hermana. El orgullo de ser damas tenía algo que ver con ello: los parientes de las Brooke, con todo y no ser exactamente aristócratas, eran indudablemente «buenos» y aunque se rastreara una o dos generaciones atrás, no se descubrían antepasados menestrales o tenderos, ni nada inferior a un almirante o un clérigo; incluso existía un ascendiente discernible como caballero puritano a las órdenes de Cromwell, que posteriormente claudicó y se las arregló para salir de los conflictos políticos convertido en el propietario de una respetable hacienda familiar. Era natural que jóvenes de tal cuna, que vivían en una tranquila casa de campo y asistían a una iglesia vecinal apenas mayor que una sala de estar, consideraran el perifollo como la aspiración de la hija de un buhonero.

Under the pseudonym George Eliot, Mary Ann Evans wrote the novel Daniel Deronda, which was first released in eight parts (books) from February to September 1876. It was the only book she ever finished that was set in her era's Victorian society. One of the most known Victorian novelists' contentious final work is a controversial combination of social satire, moral reflection, and sympathetic representation of Jewish proto-Zionist views. The novel has been adapted three times for the screen: twice for motion pictures and once for television. Additionally, it has been adapted for the stage, most famously by the 69 Theatre Company in Manchester in the 1960s, which starred Vanessa Redgrave as the lead character Gwendolen Harleth. Although the "tale of Gwendolen'' has been called "one of the classics of English fiction," the portion of the narrative involving Daniel Deronda has been called "flat and unconvincing." Nevertheless, Zionism has been greatly influenced by Daniel's tale. In 1948, F. R. Leavis argued that the Jewish sections of The Great Tradition were its weakest and that a truncated version called Gwendolen Harleth should be printed on its own. Some Zionist commentators have advocated the opposite truncation, keeping the Jewish section, but with Gwendole's story omitted.

Louie Marner George Eliot's third book is titled The Weaver of Raveloe. In 1861, it was published. The work, which appears to be a straightforward account of a linen weaver, is remarkable for its powerful realism and its complex handling of a range of subjects, including religion, industrialization, and community. The story takes place in the first decade of the nineteenth century. A weaver named Silas Marner belongs to a little Calvinist congregation in the Northern English slum district called Lantern Yard. While caring for the critically ill deacon, he is wrongly charged with embezzling money from the congregation. A pocket knife and the finding of the bag that once held the money in Silas' home both point to his involvement. Since Silas had handed William Dane his pocket knife just before the crime was committed, there is a strong suspicion that William has set Silas up. Silas and the others draw lots in the hope that God will guide the proceedings, but the results show that Silas is guilty. The intended spouse of Silas breaks off their union and chooses to wed William instead. Silas flees Lantern Yard and the city for an uncharted rural location since his life has been destroyed, and his heart has been broken.

Middlemarch (1871-1872) est sans doute le plus beau roman de George Eliot, en tout cas son roman le plus complet (le sixième sur sept). Deux intrigues sentimentales principales, l'histoire des deux mariages de Dorothea et le mariage malheureux de Lydgate, jeune médecin ambitieux, avec la vulgaire Rosamond Vincy, se détachent sur un fond foisonnant de personnages et d'événements, d'épisodes intéressants, amusants, émouvants. Un des charmes de George Eliot est dans cette surabondance de détails. Nous avons fait figurer en préface un beau texte de Virginia Woolf sur George Eliot : " L'issue fut triomphale pour elle, quel qu'ait pu être le destin de ses créatures ; et quand nous nous rappelons tout ce qu'elle a osé, tout ce qu'elle a accompli, la façon dont, malgré tous les obstacles qui jouaient contre elle (le sexe, la santé, les conventions), elle a cherché toujours plus de savoir, toujours plus de liberté jusqu'au jour où le corps, accablé par son double fardeau, s'effondra, épuisé, nous devons poser sur sa tombe toutes les brassées de lauriers et de roses que nous possédons. "

In this essay, originally published anonymously in The Westminster Review (1856), George Eliot examines the state of women's fiction in her time. She lamentingly argues that absurd and banal novels, written by well-to-do women of her time, do great disservice for the overall appreciation of women's intellectual capacities within society.Eliot divides "silly novels by lady novelists" into several distinct categories: the mind-and-millinery species, the oracular type and the white-neck-cloth variety. She writes with characteristic sharp wit and insightful intellect in this scathing (but not unfeeling) feminist critique of "Silly Novels by Lady Novelists".
