Short description:

With essays that span the full range of Eliot’s career, this volume considers Eliot from a variety of de-centred vantage points, exploring how the obscure and marginal in Eliot’s life and work sheds surprising light on the central and familiar.

Long description:

In Middlemarch, George Eliot famously warns readers not to see themselves as the centre of their own world, which produces a ‘flattering illusion of concentric arrangement’. The scholarly contributors to Antipodean George Eliot resist this form of centrism. Hailing from four continents and six countries, they consider Eliot from a variety of de-centred vantage points, exploring how the obscure and marginal in Eliot’s life and work sheds surprising light on the central and familiar. With essays that span the full range of Eliot’s career—from her early journalism, to her major novels, to eccentric late works such as Impressions of Theophrastus Such—Antipodean George Eliot is committed to challenging orthodoxies about Eliot’s development as a writer, overturning received ideas about her moral and political thought, and unveiling new contexts for appreciating her unparalleled significance in nineteenth-century letters.

“This is a stimulating collection which demonstrates the vitality of George Eliot scholarship in the Antipodes and beyond, and it is at the same time a tribute to the inexhaustible richness of her writing….a handsomely produced work for which the editors and the publisher should be congratulated.”

-John Rignall, University of Warwick (p95: The George Eliot Review 2023, No. 54)
