Eliot’s was a time in which the Impressionists and the Realists lived side by side. The Impressionists worked to explain the world according to its essence; the Realists endeavored to demonstrate that same world according to its existence. Happily, it was also the era of the Positivists, who attempted to explain the world according to the way essence and existence interrelate. Eliot was a thorough and deliberate woman, one who consciously planned and executed everything she wrote. This article focuses on the importance of learning the life and works of George Eliot.
