- Abstract
Ilana M. Blumberg's book, "George Eliot: Whole Soul," offers a fresh perspective on the early years of novelist George Eliot, examining her religious beliefs and their influence on her writing. Blumberg argues that Eliot's evangelical upbringing played a crucial role in shaping her sense of duty, her concern with temptation and wrongdoing, and her exploration of life's meaning. Blumberg also explores how Eliot's faith influenced her novels, particularly in their treatment of suffering, gender, and the crisis of faith. The book provides a nuanced understanding of Eliot's religious background and its impact on her literary works.
