Abstract
The reputation of George Eliot (1819-1880) rests mainly on her novels Adam Bede 1859, The Mill on the Floss 1860, Silas Marner 1861 and Middlemarch 1871. In Adam Bede George Eliot examines the driving forces of her characters who suffer from their inherent egoism and self-deception. The Mill on the Floss is a detailed study of a girl's growth towards maturation. In this novel the reader can see that there is a feeling of warmth that comes from the close relationship between the writer and her heroine. Middlemarch is, I believe, a masterpiece. According to Virginia Woolf Middlemarch is " one of the few English novels written for grownup people." ' The novel talks about a static society threatened by the political, economic and intellectual changes from outside.
The deep
analysis of human nature gives the book a remarkable characteristic.
Silas Marner is a novel of profound moral concerns. The novel shows that George Eliot's approach to the art of fiction is intellectual and analytical. With great respect to truth, David Cecil states that George Eliot
" was something very unlike the typical Victorian novelists, she was an intellectual writer." ? George Eliot is not only an intellectual novelist, she is a writer of profound moral vision and psychological penetration.
Marner is the embodiment of the essence of George Eliot's moral views as it discusses the spiritual development of Silas and his painful struggle to break free from the prison of egoism into a life of sympathy and affection with his community. Silas achieves transcendence of the self with the help of Eppie who fills his heart with light, hope and love.
