| | George Eliot was never orthodox again; she abandoned, with fierce determination, every creed, and although she passed, later, through various phases, she remained incessantly a rationalist in matters of faith and in all other matters. | | | In every one of George Eliots books, the protagonists, tortured by dreams of perfection, are in revolt against the prudent compromises of the worldly. |

| | George Eliot was not charming; she was not strongly feminine; she had none of those eccentricities and inequalities of temper which give to so many artists the endearing simplicity of children. | | | George Eliot had far too strong an intelligence to tamper with those facts, and too broad a humour to mitigate the truth because it was a stern one. | | | Those who fall foul of George Eliot do so, we incline to think, on account of her heroines; and with good reason; for there is no doubt that they bring out the worst of her, lead her into difficult places, make her self-conscious, didactic, and occasionally vulgar. |

Mary Ann Evans was twelve at the time of the Great Reform Bill (1832), which forms the historical context of Middlemarch. | | | Her theme is that happiness is the reward life gives for tolerance, compassion, and understanding (as it is for Dinah Morris and Adam), and that over-riding ambition, thoughtlessness about the welfare of others, and greed \cannot bring such happiness. |

| | Though Eliot was influenced by Goethe, her forebears tend to be cultural rather than novelistic: she admired Thomas Carlyle ("there is hardly an active mind of this generation that has not been modified by Carlyle's writings") and Ruskin, while Middlemarch shows the influence of new Darwinian ideas about evolution. | | | In 1859, Adam Bede was attacked as the "vile outpourings of a lewd woman's mind" and withdrawn from libraries, but by the end of her life she was recognised as the greatest living English novelist, particularly admired by Turgenev and Henry James (and Queen Victoria). | | | Her letters and edited journals have been published; the massive George Eliot: Voice of a Century by Frederick Robert Karl (1995) situates Eliot within Victorian society. |

| | For all in our spiritual lives that Eliot came to be blind to, she has few equals as a discerner—and a celebrator—of the small and large mutations of our moral lives. | | | This is, like most of what Nietzsche wrote, unfair: Eliot was neither a "little bluestocking" nor a "moral fanatic," and moreover drew almost all of her ideas about how to sustain Christian morality without Christian belief from reading Germans like Strauss and Feuerbach. | | | Conversely, were Dinah to "shut up her heart" to the love of Adam, she would be sealing off one entrance for knowledge—that is to say, wisdom—and this could scarcely be pleasing to God. |
