| Research Abstract |
I have attempted to make a textual analysis of George Eliot’s later novels (Felix Holt the radical, Middlemarch, Daniel Deronda) from the viewpoint of intertextuality (a positive analysis of the influences owing to the preceding and contemporary writers). It has been made clear through this method that Eliot’s novelistic texts are deeply impregnated with the dialogue due to the spiritof the late nineteenth century: that is to say the dialogue between Christian world-view and Darwinian theory of evolution and its consequent physiology and psychology.
