British and American Studies George Eliot’s Itinerary Life and Writings |
Index. décimale : |

Résumé : |
Despite her male pen name “George”, Eliot is a woman writer who grew up in a
religiously turbulent Victorian Britain that witnessed significant economic, social, intellectual
and political changes. When she was young, Eliot adhered to Evangelicalism. This faith, in
turn, would show in her early writings, such as journals, letters, and poetry. Later in her life,
she had been influenced by freethinking ideas and a radical change occurred in her religious
beliefs. She, then, became one of the first British women who dared to think, believe, and
write differently. She eventually settled in London to work among the intelligentsia of the
Capital. The rebellious life she had with the already married philosopher and scientist George
Lewes was socially and morally considered both as emancipated and unconventional for a
woman in those times. During this period, she started to write essays and novels in which she
played the role of a social reformer. Her realistic fiction is very indicative of her experiences
and conflicts, as well as of the new creed she had eventually adopted.
It is this lifelong itinerary from a provincial young girl’s unshakable religious faith to
a Londoner’s rebellious and unconventional way of life that this dissertation wishes to explore
and investigate through significant biographical events, and relevant writings and novels by
one of the most outstanding, independent, and intellectual British women writers. We target a
comprehensive study of Eliot’s religious itinerary and of all the significant factors that
triggered Eliot’s crisis of doubt. Our first aim is to demonstrate that Eliot’s final loss of faith
was not due to an emotional decision made by a naturally rebellious or immature mind, but
rather was the gradual and intellectual outcome of a complex crisis of faith during which she
had enough time for serious introspective reflection. The dissertation adopts a descriptive
qualitative case study approach in order to understand why Eliot behaved as she did and what
impact her new creed had on her fiction |
