Summary "George Eliot's Life, as Related in Her Letters and Journals. Vol. 2 (of 3)" by George Eliot is a biographical work that chronicles the author's life through her letters and journals. Written in the late 19th century, this volume details her experiences and reflections during the height of her literary career, evidencing her thoughts on writing, relationships, and intellectual pursuits. The narrative is edited by her husband, J. W. Cross, providing an intimate perspective on Eliot's life and the societal challenges she faced as a prominent female author. The opening of this volume presents Eliot's intimate thoughts and experiences from January to December 1858, focusing heavily on the reception of her work "Scenes of Clerical Life" and her burgeoning success as a writer. We see her grappling with the implications of her anonymous authorship and the praise she receives from literary giants like Charles Dickens and J. A. Froude, which both exhilarates and petrifies her. Throughout her journal entries, Eliot reflects on her creative processes, her evolving identity, and her personal life, offering rich insights into her artistic spirit and the societal norms of her time. This glimpse into her life serves as an excellent entry point for readers interested in understanding the intertwining of Eliot's personal and professional worlds.
