“Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.” This book is a collection of the quotes and aphorisms of George Eliot. It grants her reflections on subjects ranging from love, women and men, art and life. The well researched and edited compilation of phrases provides approaching into the way of thinking of George Eliot. Mary Anne Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, journalist, and translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She is the author of seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Middlemarch (1871–72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of them set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight. She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women only writing lighthearted romances. An additional factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes, with whom she lived for over 20 years.

As A Great Literary Creator, George Eliot Holds A Singular Position In Reference To Religious Beliefs. To Most Literary Artists Religion Is A Vital Part Of Life, Which Enters As A Profound Element Into Their Teachings Or Into Their Interpretations Of Character And Incident. Religion Deeply Affects The Writings Of Tennyson, Browning And Ruskin; Its Problems, Its Hopes, Its Elements Of Mystery And Infinity Touch All Their Pages. In An Equal Degree, Though With A Further Departure From Accredited Beliefs, And With A Greater Effect From Philosophical Or Humanitarian Influences, Has It Wrought Itself Into The Genius Of Goethe, Carlyle And Hugo. Even The Pages Of Voltaire, Shelley And Heine Have Been Touched By Its Magic Influence; Their Words Glow With Its Great Interests, And Bloom Into Beauty Through Its Inspiration. None Of These Is More Affected By Religion Than George Eliot Has Been; Nor Does It Form A Greater Element In Their Writings Than In Hers. [mehr]

The Poet And The Novelist Write Largely Out Of Personal Experience, And Must Give Expression To The Effects Of Their Own History. What They Have Seen And Felt, Gives Shape And Tone To What They Write; That Which Is Nearest Their Own Hearts Is Poured Forth In Their Books. To Ignore These Influences Is To Overlook A Better Part Of What They Write, And Is Often To Lose The Explanation Of Many Features Of Their Work. Shakspere Is One Of Those Who Are Of No Time Or Place, Whose Words Gain No Added Meaning In View Of What He Was And How He Lived; But It Is Not So With A Great Number Of The Best And Most Inspiring Writers. The Era In Which They Lived, The Intellectual Surroundings Afforded Them By Their Country And Generation, The Subtle Phases Of Sentiment And Aspiration Of Their Immediate Time And Place, Are All Essential To A True Appreciation Of Their Books.

Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa, has not smiled with some gentleness at the thought of the little girl walking forth one morning hand-in-hand with her still smaller brother, to go and seek martyrdom in the country of the Moors? Out they toddled from rugged Avila, wide-eyed and helpless-looking as two fawns, but with human hearts, already beating to a national idea; until domestic reality met them in the shape of uncles, and turned them back from their great resolve. That child-pilgrimage was a fit beginning. Theresa's passionate, ideal nature demanded an epic life: what were many-volumed romances of chivalry and the social conquests of a brilliant girl to her? Her flame quickly burned up that light fuel; and, fed from within, soared after some illimitable satisfaction, some object which would never justify weariness, which would reconcile self-despair with the rapturous consciousness of life beyond self. She found her epos in the reform of a religious order. [mehr]

Silas Marner is the third novel by George Eliot, published in 1861. An outwardly simple tale of a linen weaver, it is notable for its strong realism and its sophisticated treatment of a variety of issues ranging from religion to industrialisation to community. In Silas Marner, Eliot combines symbolism with a historically precise setting to create a tale of love and hope. On one level, the book has a strong moral tract: the bad character, Dunstan Cass, gets his just deserts, while the pitiable character, Silas Marner, is ultimately richly rewarded, and his miserliness corrected. The novel explores the issues of redemptive love, the notion of community, the role of religion, the status of the gentry and family, and impacts of industrialisation. While religion and religious devotion play a strong part in this text, Eliot concerns herself with matters of ethics and interdependence of faith and community. [mehr]
