Book Description
Excerpt from A Londoner's Walk to the Land's End: And a Trip to the Scilly Isles Having in mind happy recollections of my rambles through the Land of Rock and Legend - of the inspiration thereby gained for after hours with the pen - and the present satisfaction arising out of a hope realised, my pleasure in writing these introductory pages becomes a threefold pleasure. I can remember, moreover, the circumstances that prevailed when, six years ago, I offered a few quires of manuscript to certain publishers: how that one replied, "You have contrived to make a stale subject interesting; but as a book nobody would buy it: " another, "You have directed your industry into a channel that will never pay: " another, "The best thing to do with it would be to publish the chapter about the Portland Breakwater as a magazine article: " an eminent firm in Cornhill made me feel that a refusal might be rendered palatable; more so, as some have recorded in their praise than others' acceptance; but whatever their soothing it was quickly dissipated by the next, who, without bestowing a glance at the manuscript, said bluntly, "We couldn't look at any but a first-rate book." Feeling diffident of my ability to write acceptably about a walk on our side of the Channel, I had prepared only one half of my narrative; so drawing what seemed the logical inference from the replies above-mentioned, I laid the manuscript aside, and there it would have remained had not a friend advised me a week or two later to offer it to the present publisher; whose opinion proving favourable, my chapters in due time took shape in type, and neither he nor I have reason to be dissatisfied with the result.

Author: George Eliot's English Travels
Author: Kathleen McCormackPublisher: Routledge

Category : Literary Criticism

Pages : 242
Book Description
George Eliot’s more than fifty long and short journeys within England took her to dozens of sites scattered around the country. Revising the traditional notion that George Eliot drew her settings and characters only from the areas of her Warwickshire childhood, Kathleen McCormack demonstrates that English travel furnished the novelist with a wide variety of originals for the composite characters and settings she would so memorably create. McCormack traces the way in which George Eliot gathered material during her travels and also drafted long sections of the novels while away from her London home. She argues that by examining the choices George Eliot made in transforming, discarding or directly describing her English originals, we might take a significant step forward in the interpretation of her writings. Where other critics have tried to interpret characters as one-to-one renderings of living or dead models, for example, this study reveals more elaborate blendings of what George Eliot called the ‘widely sundered elements’ that made up her fiction. McCormack also reaches the fascinating conclusion that the novels were a form of coded communication between the author and people in her life, including other prominent Victorians such as Edward Burne-Jones, Robert Lytton and Barbara Bodichon. Presenting fresh biographical information and original insights into George Eliot’s writing strategies, George Eliot’s English Travels promises a decisive shift in our understanding of one of the most important figures in Victorian literature.
