George Eliot Philosopher As Novelist

This study presents an entirely new approach to the interpretation of George Eliot's work. In his examination and analysis of the theme of her novels which, in fact, constitutes the book, Dr. Dalal exhaustively treats each of her novels discovering in each the underlying philosophy of progress on which all of them are based. George Eliot characterised her novels as a "set of experiments in life". These experiments related among other things, to the five basic canons of her philosophy of progress which enshrine the universal truth behind it.
