Darwins Plots Evolutionary Narrative in Darwin  George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Fiction by Gillian Beer

نویسنده: جیلیان بیر Gillian Beer

Gillian Beer’s landmark book demonstrates how Darwin overturned fundamental cultural assumptions in his narratives, how George Eliot, Thomas Hardy and other writers pursued and resisted their contradictory implications, and how the stories he produced about natural selection and the struggle for life now underpin our culture.

This second edition incorporates a new preface by the author and a foreword by the distinguished American scholar George Levine.

Though some times a bit hard to slog through, there were some fantastic observations and really enlightening comments about perceptions of evolution and nineteenth century thought and literature. M.k. Yost

Ignite my curiosity about Origin. Time to finally read the 19th century book after claiming to be doing history of ecology for years! CL Chu

I generally admire Beer as a scholar, but I think I’ve already imbibed most of what she’s argued here through other means. She reads Darwin and his theory of evolution for that moment in the 19th century when theory poses on the boundary between fiction and fact. She traces the ways that Darwin’s thinking impacts Victorian thought generally, and then looks at his theory’s influence on Eliot and Hardy especially. Erica
