Synopsis

The boom in feminist criticism over the past two decades has led to a Renaissance in Eliot studies; as Perlis explains in his introduction to this volume, feminist interpretation is essential to understanding a writer whose fundamental theme was the constraint and trauma suffered by Victorian women. Comprehensively covering Eliot scholarship published from 1972 through to 1987, this annotated bibliography is the first to affirm the sweeping changes in Eliot studies. It lists and annotates many works that establish the social and personal context in which the novels were written, including Haight's nine-volume compilation of Eliot's letters, which was a catalyst for much subsequent scholarship.
