- W2336706821 abstract "Beginning an essay on Edward Said with George Eliot’s use of the word “worldliness” is quite anachronistic. But despite the difference between Said’s more specialized theoretical vocabulary and Eliot’s mundane signifier for cosmopolitan, cultivated, or urbane, a brief exchange at the beginning of Middlemarch’s second book entitled “Old and Young” is uncanny nonetheless. The scene in question comes as we are just being introduced to the novel’s supporting cast; learning their values, character, and seeing how their existence in the first half of the nineteenth century anticipates Eliot’s, and by extension our own, modern world. It is in this respect that I begin with an exchange between Mr. Vincy and Mr. Bulstrode concerning the upbringing of the former’s son, Fred, and his profligate lifestyle. Both are businessmen, but Bulstrode believes that Vincy’s faith in a “father’s duty to give his sons a fine chance,” that is a college education, engendered bad habits under the auspices of some idea of “worldliness.”1 The conversation goes as follows:“I don’t wish to act otherwise than as your best friend, Vincy, when I say that what you have been uttering just now is one mass of worldliness and inconsistent folly.”“Very well,” said Mr. Vincy, kicking in spite of resolutions, “I never professed to be anything but worldly; and, what’s more, I don’t see anybody else who is not worldly. I suppose you don’t conduct business on what you call unworldly principles. The only difference I see is that one worldliness is a little bit honester than another.”2" @default.
