Über dieses E-Book
"Felix Holt, the Radical" (1866) is a social novel written by George Eliot about political disputes in a small English town at the time of the First Reform Act of 1832. In January 1868, Eliot penned an article entitled "Address to Working Men, by Felix Holt". This came on the heels of the Second Reform Act of 1867 which expanded the right to vote beyond the landed classes and was written in the character of, and signed by, Felix Holt. (Wikipedia)
Autoren-Profil
George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans on November 22, 1819, in Warwickshire, England, is a towering figure in Victorian literature. Adopting a male pen name to ensure her works were taken seriously in a male-dominated literary world, Eliot defied societal norms and became one of the most influential novelists of her time. Her works are celebrated for their deep psychological insight, rich character development, and keen observations of rural and provincial life.Eliot's personal life was as unconventional as her professional one. She formed a scandalous yet enduring relationship with the married philosopher and critic George Henry Lewes, a partnership that lasted until his death. This relationship, along with her progressive views on religion and society, often placed her at odds with Victorian moral standards but also positioned her as a forward-thinking intellectual.Her novels, such as "Middlemarch" and "The Mill on the Floss," are lauded for their exploration of complex themes like social change, women's rights, and the intricacies of human relationships. Eliot's ability to weave intricate plots with profound ethical questions has influenced countless writers, including Virginia Woolf, who famously called "Middlemarch" one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.Eliot's legacy extends beyond her literary achievements; she challenged the rigid gender roles of her era and championed the idea that literature could be a vehicle for social and moral reform. Her life and works continue to resonate, offering modern readers a window into the struggles and triumphs of a woman who dared to defy convention and left an indelible mark on the literary world.
