Author: Roder-Bolton, Gerlinde

Details: From 1854 to 1855, George Eliot spent eight months in Germany, a period that marked the start of her life with George Lewes. Though Eliot documented this journey more extensively than any other, it has remained an under-researched part of Eliots biography. In her meticulously documented and engaging book, Gerlinde Röder-Bolton draws on Eliots own writings, as well as on extensive original research in German archives and libraries, to provide the most thorough account yet published of the couples visit. Rich in historical, social, and cultural detail, George Eliot in Germany, 1854-55 not only records the couples travels but supplies a context for their encounters with people and places. In the process, Röder-Bolton shows how the crossing of geographical boundaries may be read as symbolic of Eliots transition from single woman to social outcast and from translator and critic to writer of fiction.
