This work is a broadly focussed & intensively researched study of the multifarious ways in which the Victorians looked at discourses on race & how these affected people's daily lives: Slavery, 19th-century Societies set up to discuss ethnicity & racial theory, Darwinism, Colonialism & post-Colonialism, the position of Gypsies in Europe, the importance of Jewish thought on human otherness, multiculturalism versus separate national identities - these are some of the themes to be found in this monograph. Most importantly, this is an intellectual biography of the distinguished novelist and intellectual, George Eliot, examining how she transmuted such themes into the "felt life", in Henry James's words, of her fiction. Her interactions with intellectuals, musicians & writers like Harriet Beecher Stowe, Richard Wagner & Robert Knox are discussed as well, together with her thought on the implications of the dramatic increase in cross-cultural human interaction.
