- W2475448924 abstract "George Eliot’s first essays, like her last, were published in fictional disguise. The five short pieces which Mary Evans contributed to Charles Bray’s local newspaper in the winter of 1846–7 show a lapidary attention to style, sustained care in presentation, interest in Scott’s novels, and the influence of Wordsworth. She expresses her pantheism in terms which echo ‘Intimations of Immortality’, her Platonic idealism (the love of ‘the good, the true, the beautiful’) being based on the assumption that the spirit has its home in the eternal mind. Man’s highest destiny transcends the worldly, but it is rooted in childhood and the common feelings of humanity; like Wordsworth’s, as expressed in ‘To a Skylark’, it is ‘True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home’. George Eliot’s religion was destined to change radically, but the experience underlying ‘The Wisdom of the Child’ is essentially that which prompted her to write nearly thirty years later (on the rootlessness of Gwendolen Harleth’s childhood), ‘The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot of stars belonging to one’s own homestead’ (DD. iii). The most significant of the newspaper articles, however, is a little fable with a great moral which takes a number of forms in George Eliot’s fiction from first to last (see pp. 97–8). Taking advantage of her fictional screen in the last of her five essays, Mary Evans satirizes provincial snobbery, and has her own heterodox position in mind when she states that respectable ladies with strong orthodox views may snub ‘any woman not an heiress’, though she is ‘as full of talents or of good works as a Sir Philip Sidney or a John Howard’." @default.
