George Eliot /
Nestor, Pauline
George Eliot / Pauline Nestor - Basingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2002 - vi, 186 pages ; 22 cm - Critical issues .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In this study, Pauline Nestor offers a challenging reassessment of Eliot's contribution to the critical debates, both of her age and of her own era. In particular, she examines the author's literary exploration of ethics, especially in relation to the negotiation of difference. Nestor argues compellingly that, through a reading of their sophisticated drama of otherness, Eliot's novels can be seen as freshly relevant to contemporary theoretical debates in feminism, moral philosophy, post-colonial studies and psychoanalysis.
