Abstract:

George Eliot filled her novels with discussions of art and references to specific paintings and sculptures. Though this element of her fiction is easy for the contemporary reader to overlook, it was well loved by her Victorian readership, and is invested with a great deal of thematic content. This thesis analyzes representations of the visual arts in Romola, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda, investigating the way that art becomes inseparable from Eliot’s larger moral themes of sympathy and historical consciousness.

Abstract:

The thesis will examine the influence of Biblical literature on some of the novels of George Eliot. In doing so it will consider the following aspects of Eliot criticism: current theoretical debate about the use of midrash; modes of discourse and narrative style; prophetic language and vision; the influence of Judaism and Jewish exegetical methods on Adam Bede, "The Lifted Veil", The Mill on the Floss, Felix Holt, and Daniel Deronda. Literary critics have, for a long time, been interested in the influence of the Bible and Biblical hermeneutics on literature and the extent to which Biblical narratives and themes are used typologically and allegorically in fiction has been well researched. In this regard, the concept of midrash is not a new one in literary theory. It refers both to a genre of writing and to an ancient Rabbinic method of exegesis. It has, however, been given new meaning by literary critics and theoriticians such as Frank Kermode, Harold Bloom, and Jacques Derrida. In The Genesis of Secrecy, Kermode gives a new nuance to the word and demonstrates how it may be used to read not only Biblical stories but secular literature as well. It is an innovative, self-reflexive, and intricate hermeneutic processs which has been used by scholars such as Geoffrey Hartman and Sanford Budick, editors of Midrash and Literature, a seminal work in this thesis. Eliot's interest in Judaism and her fascination with religion, religious writing, and religious characters are closely connected to her understanding of the novelist's role as an interpreter of stories. In this regard, the prophetic figure as poet, seer, and interpreter of the past, present, and future of society is of special significance. The thesis will investigate Eliot's reinterpretation of this important Biblical type as well as her retelling of Biblical stories. It will attempt to establish the extent to which Eliot's work may be called midrash, and enter the current debate on how and why literary works have been and can be interpreted. It will address the questions of why Eliot, who abjures normative religious faith, has such a profound interest in the Bible, how the Bible serves her creative purposes, why she is interested in Judaism, and to what extent the latter informs and permeates her novels.

Full text

Abstract:

Born on St. Cecilia’s day, the patroness of music and musicians, George Eliot regarded music as being fundamental throughout her life. This dissertation analyses the role and the function of music in George Eliot’s "Daniel Deronda". Starting from the description of George Eliot’s relationship with music and her acquaintance with musicians of her time, this dissertation explores her poetics and notion of art and the artist focusing on the character of Klesmer. Furthermore, it analyses the association of music with feeling and sympathy through the characters of Daniel Deronda and Gwendolen Harleth, considering music according to the definition given by Hegel as “the language of the soul”, and discussing the importance that George Eliot gives to the voice in the construction of the characters. This dissertation focuses on the role of musicians in nineteenth-century English society by studying those who act in the field of music in "Daniel Deronda", and examines the relationship between musicianship and Jewishness. Moreover, it investigates the characters of Gwendolen and Mirah, and how music affects the course of their lives and is revelatory of their own essence. The purpose of this dissertation is indeed to analyse music as a unifying theme of the novel and as a means to portray the inner selves of the characters and to improve their self-awareness.

"The changing role and portrayal of 'the individual' in historical context in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Emma, George Eliot's Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, and Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge and Tess of the d'Urbervilles."

Full text

Abstract:

In an analysis of six novels published in the nineteenth century, the thesis examines the changing role and portrayal of the 'individual' in Victorian fiction. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Emma (1816), George Eliot's Middlemarch (1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876), and Thomas Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge (1886) and Tess of the d'Urbervilles (1891) are analysed in depth. The discussion focuses on how the social and historical context shapes the development of theme, character and plot in the novels, especially focusing on literary conceptions of character as an individualistic being within the wider framework of society. The emphasis is on the characters' engagement with their society, and how the portrayal connects with the social and historical context. The development of the novel as a literary form is examined in the light of literary history. The thesis discusses the relationship between recorded history and the development of literary characters. It analyses how the concept of the individual evolved: how the process enacted itself from traditional identity to one which is slowly revealed and unfolded within the text. It investigates the differences between the ideas of character identity as a given property, or identities which are formed and developed throughout the course of the novel in their historical context. The characters' relationships to their social worlds and its demands, and the process by which a character acquires subjectivity and involves him or herself in the social life of the society is investigated, in the light of the rapidly changing Victorian society. The eighteenth-century social inheritance is established, locating the origins and catalysts of change and how the nineteenth-century society's immediate ancestors fanned, and were fanned by, their social world. The sociological and historical framework of the Victorian world is examined and related to the portrayal and development of individuality. A vital consideration is the pervasiveness and rapidity of social change in the nineteenth century, to an extent previously never experienced by any society. The progression and effects of this change through the century are interpreted through the writers' portrayal of individuals. The tidal movement of ideas between progression and traditionalism, between character and fate will be charted through the century. The thesis questions how much freedom of choice, or the illusion of it, affects the unfolding concept of the individual.

Abstract:

The aim of this diploma thesis is to introduce Victorian authoresses of the second half of the 19th century and concept of fictional novelistic spaces. Firstly, the thesis will shortly present the main authoresses of the Victorian novels in the social context of the 19th century (the Brontë sisters, George Eliot). Secondly, it will focus on the analysis of the last of George Eliot's novels, 'Daniel Deronda' (comparing it with her earlier novel 'The Mill on the Floss') with the emphasis on the changes of the concept of space in the novel, in which the Jewish theme dominates, and it will also describe searching for the roots and traditions in the personal life of the hero. Finally, the thesis will aim at European context of the concepts of novelistic spaces and it will evaluate the importance of the last novel written by George Eliot.

This thesis attempts to examine and theorize Gwendolen Harleth’s active intervention in her life characterized by incessant crises in George Eliot’s Daniel Deronda. Gwendolen, living under the influence of liberalism and self-help, aspired to take control of her life by speculating interests and risks. Representative of a prototypical female homo economicus (or economic woman), she manifested the ways capitalistic economy affects women in terms of the idea of self-interest. Incorporating this historical significance of such an awakening, the term “women’s self-management” used here is intended not only to distinguish women’s particular social position from men’s, but also to emphasize the aspect of her interaction with and perception of the material world. I argue that Gwendolen perceives the public world and her identity in relation to the status of her self-interest. What I find is that Gwendolen epitomizes the advent of a group of new women in the mid-century, who were active supporters of their self-interest and against whom Victorian society in this period began to confront and venture to contain. As the narrative shows, the need to self-manage is triggered by Gwendolen’s perception of her impaired self-interest. While being acutely aware of her interest as an “individual woman,” Gwendolen also has to consider the risk of offending the conventional gender ideology that is quick to deny women’s material desires. Featuring in the novel as two dominant sites of self-management, leisure and marriage provide rather opposite results of her effort. Resorting to what I call “economics of performing,” I believe Gwendolen constantly exploits the gender ideology to extract the value of her female body for her economic benefit. Whilst with leisure she is able to fulfill her desire through promoting her femininity, marriage on the other hand negates her marriageability and as a result her self-interest is forced to lapse into compromisation with the social norms. At the end of the novel, it is suggested that the marriage as governed by Victorian logic serves as the ultimate boundary for economic woman, whose self-interest must renounce marriage as its primary expression.

Like the contentious woman, George Eliot, her last novel, Daniel Deronda is no less controversial than she is. Owing to her arrangement of dividing the novel into two parts, it seems that the less important part, the Gwendolen part, always surpasses the thematic part, the Deronda part. As a result, this novel has been criticized harshly by many critics for the inconformity between the title and the content since its publication. Even so, Eliot still wants her readers to see something in addition to the Gwendolen part. However, if we take the relationship between Marian Evans and George Eliot as the paradigm and read the relationship between the Gwendolen part and the Deronda part with the view of the paradigm, it could be inferred that Eliot wants the story told and even the two main characters’ subjectivities constructed by means of otherness. The “otherness” here neither implies the later-known fact of Deronda’s Jewish parentage nor suggests the oppressed condition of Gwendolen’s marriage; rather, the otherness, I meant here, can only be perceived when people succumb to things or make confessions. Thus, in order to illustrate the ambiguous subjects and clarify the subjugated subjects, I develop my discussion into five chapters. To meet the demand of conventional thesis writing, I have a short summary of the content of my thesis in Chapter One. In Chapter Two, I try to have short reviews of Bataille’s idea of expenditure and Foucault’s idea of confession, which are both involved with otherness. In Chapter Three, I try to point out the facts about both Gwendolen’s and Deronda’s androgynous dispositions. To some extent, Gwendolen is a man in woman’s disguise, and Deronda is a woman in man’s disguise. In Chapter Four, I try to explicate how expenditure and confession influences Gwendolen and Deronda under Eliot’s presentation, and therefore I would conclude the necessity of otherness when speaking of the formation and transformation of Gwendolen’s and Deronda’s subjectivities in Chapter Five.
