Review:
""George Eliot in Society" is compelling and important because it offers a much-needed revisionist reading of Eliot's life to follow her cohabitation with George Lewes. Both scholars and students of Victorian studies will want to read McCormack's account of the world Eliot and Lewes made together--who assembled, what occurred between members of their world, how their experiences may have contributed to Eliot's novels and Lewes's theories, and how they were together as a couple. This book will be necessary to those who study George Eliot and are interested in the biography of relational lives." --Kay Young, professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara
"Kathleen McCormack makes an original, revisionist contribution to study of the biographies of the Victorian novelist George Eliot. By pulling together the different strands of investigation under the rubric of Society, she corrects the false image of Eliot living out her life as a socially ostracized woman. Instead, Eliot emerges as a much more social being than she has seemed in many previous biographies. "George Eliot in Society" will be essential reading for scholars and critics working on Eliot's life and writing." --Nancy Henry, professor of English, University of Tennessee
