Transcribed from the 1883 Funk & Wagnalls edition by David Price "The Essays of 'George Eliot'" by George Eliot is a collection of literary essays written in the late 19th century. The essays cover a wide range of topics, reflecting on human emotions, societal dynamics, and the nature of literature, presenting George Eliot's insightful analysis of motives and character. As the work encompasses her contributions to periodical literature, it provides a detailed examination of her thoughts and ideas that contribute to her legacy as a prominent female novelist of her time. At the start of the collection, the preface sets the stage for the essays, explaining the curiosity surrounding George Eliot's earlier writings. It highlights her unique talent for analyzing human motives, positioning her as a distinctive voice in fiction, separate from her contemporaries who focus primarily on storytelling. The opening chapters delve into the intricacies of women’s roles in society and literature, with the discussion focusing on Eliot's perspective on characters like Dorothea Brooke from her famous novel "Middlemarch." A key theme emerges in the exploration of the disparity between external appearances and internal realities, as well as the constraints placed on women's lives, fostering a rich conversation about identity, societal expectations, and emotional depth that runs throughout Eliot's work.
