{"product_id":"george-eliot-and-goethe-9789042003590","title":"George Eliot and Goethe","description":"In the first half of the nineteenth century in England there was a strong interest in German literature and German scholarship. George Eliot studied German and German literature from the age of twenty. Her first publication, in 1846, was a translation of Friedrich Strauss's \u003ci\u003eDas Leben Jesu\u003c\/i\u003e; followed, in 1854, by the translation of Ludwig Feuerbach's \u003ci\u003eDas Wesen des Christentums\u003c\/i\u003e. That same year George Eliot left England with George Henry Lewes on her first visit to Germany. During the next three months they visited Frankfurt, Weimar and Berlin to collect material for Lewes's biography of Goethe. In this study, Gerlinde Röder-Bolton explores the impact of Goethe on George Eliot, whose elective affinity with Goethe was both ethical and artistic, and analyses George Eliot's responsiveness to Goethe's moral vision and the literary uses she makes of her familiarity with Goethe's work. \u003ci\u003eGeorge Eliot and Goethe: An Elective Affinity\u003c\/i\u003e concentrates on \u003ci\u003eThe Mill on the Floss\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDaniel Deronda\u003c\/i\u003e, showing how the intertextual relationship with \u003ci\u003eDie Wahlverwandtschaften\u003c\/i\u003e holds the key to an understanding of the latter part of \u003ci\u003eThe Mill on the Floss\u003c\/i\u003e, while the first part of \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre\u003c\/i\u003e throw new light on \u003ci\u003eDaniel Deronda.\u003c\/i\u003e This study, with its close analysis of a range of works by George Eliot and Goethe, is essential reading for anyone interested in both or either of these authors or in Anglo-German literary relations.","brand":"Gerlinde Röder-Bolton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269391954171,"sku":"9789042003590","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_3be2fe2d-2b1e-4874-9757-2745236f8e67.jpg?v=1770950346","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/george-eliot-and-goethe-9789042003590","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
