Contents:
1. Imperial knowledge : George Eliot, G.H. Lewes, and the literature of empire2. "Colleagues in failure" : emigration and the Lewes boys -- 3. Investing in empire -- 4. Daniel Deronda, Impressions of Theophrastus such, and the emergence of imperialism.
Summary: "In this study, Nancy Henry introduces a new set of facts that place George Eliot's life and work within the contexts of mid nineteenth-century British colonialism and imperialism. Henry examines Eliot's roles as an investor in colonial stocks, a parent to emigrant sons, and a reader of colonial literature. She highlights the importance of these contexts to our understanding of both Eliot's fiction and her situation within Victorian culture. Henry argues that Eliot's decision to represent the empire only as it infiltrated the imaginations and domestic lives of her characters illuminates the nature of her realism. The book also re-examines the assumptions of post-colonial criticism about Victorian fiction and its relation to empire."--JacketPPN: PPN: 086125052Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-NEL | GBV-4-CommColl | ZDB-4-EBA | ZDB-4-NLEBK
