George Eliot is perhaps most appreciated for her ability to synthesize moral and aesthetic concerns. She has been compared to Shakespeare and Dante in her role as a moral authority. This volume presents the evolving scope of Eliot's critical reputation, offering valuable insight into her classic novels including ""Middlemarch"", ""Daniel Deronda"", ""Adam Bede"", ""Silas Marner"", and ""The Mill on the Floss"". There are a chronology of the author's life, an index, and an introduction by esteemed scholar Harold Bloom that round out this latest edition to the ""Bloom's Classic Critical Views"" series.
