Produktbeschreibung
In this in-depth study, Semmel dissects the politics of many of Eliot's novels, including Middlemarch, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner, and convincingly demonstrates Eliot's variations on the plot of inheritance and her acceptance of the reform processes in Britain's political life. All those interested in Victorian literature, history, and political thought will appreciate Semmel's George Eliot and the Politics of National Inheritance.
The book examines Eliot's use in her novels of the theme of inheritance as an almost Burkean metaphor for her politics - one linking generations in the kindred family and providing bonds of sympathy for the wider family of the nation. Eliot's stress on the political traditions and culture of the national inheritance countered the doctrinaire authoritarianism and cosmopolitanism of her Positivist friends, though risking a descent into the Völkish ideology of W.H. Riehl, whom she admired.
