Summary:
Written by a team of leading international scholars, the work is the first comprehensive survey of Eliot's place in European culture. Exploring Eliot's deep knowledge of German literature and thought, her galvanizing influence on women novelists 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 book reveals her full stature as a cosmopolitan writer and thinker.
