{"product_id":"the-reception-of-george-eliot-in-europe","title":"Reception of George Eliot in Europe","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Eliot (born Mary Ann Evans, 1819-1880) was one of the most important writers of the European nineteenth century, as well as a pioneering translator of challenging and controversial  Continental thinkers, and an influential editor and essayist. Although such novels of provincial life as \u003ci\u003eAdam Bede\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mill on the Floss\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMiddlemarch \u003c\/i\u003ehave seen her characterised as a thoroughly English writer, her reception and immersion in the literary, intellectual and political life of Europe was remarkable. Written by a team of leading international scholars, \u003ci\u003eThe Reception of George Eliot in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive and systematic survey of Eliot's place in European culture. Exploring Eliot's deep knowledge of German literature and thought, her galvanizing influence on women novelists and translators in countries as diverse as Sweden and Spain, her travels in Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Lands, Italy, and Spain and her friendship with leading figures such as Mazzini, Turgenev, and Liszt, this study reveals her full stature as a cosmopolitan writer and thinker. A film of her Italian Renaissance novel \u003ci\u003eRomola\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the first to circulate in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Including an historical timeline and a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources and translations, \u003ci\u003eThe Reception of George Eliot in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference resource for anyone working in the field of Victorian Literature or the European nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32026625409107,"sku":"9781441190222","price":365.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781441190222.jpg?v=1770875137","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-reception-of-george-eliot-in-europe","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
