Sommario/riassunto |
|
The study examines Eliot's use of the theme of inheritance as a metaphor for politics - linking generations in the kindred family and providing bonds of sympathy for the wider family of the nation. It describes the stress of Eliot's novels on the political traditions and culture of the nation. |
