　　Good morning, all appraiser committee members. I am a f. o. &boli-bennett, my tutor is Chen. Her constant encouragement and guidance, I have finished my paper. Now, its show time. You and I will work hard to welcome any correction.

　　The topic of my thesis is《 George Eliot “Middleton ma qi” of the female and female problems》.Heres the paper selected topic background.

　　George Eliot (1819-~1880) was bom as Mary Anne Evans, an English novelist,journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorimi era who developed themethod of psychological analysis. George Eliot is her pseudonym in the literary circle.

　　In January 1855 after eight-month-stay with George Henry Lewes from Germany back toEngland, her first article Evangelical Teaching in Westminster Review was well received, butconsidering the discriminative views on women critics in the mid-Victorian era,she used “theauthor of article No. 4as a code name to conceal her gender so that she could gaina fair treatment from critics. With the encouragement of Lewes and her distinct views onwriting, she turned to fiction in 1856, among which Scenes of Clerical Life is her first novel.

　　As a leading woman novelist in the late Victorian era, Eliot is a prolific writer in noveland poetry. Her works include seven novels including Adam Bede (1859)， The Mill on theFloss (1860)，Silas Marner (1861)，^omo/a(1863)， Felix Holt, the Radical (1866)，Middlemarch (1871-72)，Daniel Deronda (1876)，poetry with The Spanish Gypsy (1868) asthe representative, translation of David Strauss The Life of Jesus (1846) and of LudwigFeuerbachs The Essence of Christianity (1854) and other articles like Silly Novels by LadyNovelists (1856)，Scenes of Clerical Life(l857)，etc. when she worked as editor ofWestminster Review (1851-1854)。

　　As far as Eliots writing style is concerned, she creates her fictional world out of herpersonal experience~a middle-and-lower-class rural England of the nineteenth-centuryMidlands. All her rich experience gives rise to her distinct writing features, which is highlypraised by Leavis in The Great Tradition:

　　Of the earlier novelists it was George Eliot alone (if we except the minor relevance of JaneAusten) whose work had a direct and significant bearing on her own problem. It had this bearingbecause she was a great novelist, and because in her mature work she handled withunprecedented subtlety and refinement the personal relations of sophisticated charactersexhibiting the civilization,of the best society, and used, in so doing, an original psychologicalnotation corresponding to the fineness of her psychological and moral insight .

　　Leavis summarizes the writing features of George Eliot from two aspects. Firstly, Eliots lifeexperience and her research into the Victorian society are well reflected in her works,whichjustifies for our study on the inter-relationship among her life, her feminine outlook and herfeminine characters in her works. Secondly, she specializes in ”sophisticated characters“ withthe touch upon the Victorian society and a daring trial on the psychological development ofcharacters.

　　Young called Eliot as ”moralist of the Victorian revolution . Undoubtedly Eliotsdeep insight into human psychological and moral aspects symbolizes her mature techniques inhandling with characters, which,to a great extent, also greatly influences her successorsincluding Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and D.H. Lawrence,etc.

　　When it comes to her position in English literature,Leavis places Eliot “mnong threeother great novelists including Jane Austen, Henry James and Joseph Conrad.” He regardsEliot as “a great artist~a great novelist, with a great novelists psychological insight andfineness of human valuation .” Lord David Cecil compares George Eliot with Jane Austenand says by way of explaining the phrase, it is this: that “George Eliot, being concerned, notto offer primarily an entertainment, but to explore a significant theme-a theme significantin its bearing on the serious problems and preoccupations of mature life-breaks with thoseftmdamental conventions both of form and matter within which the English novel up till thenhad been constructed?‘” In this way, Eliots contribution to English literature and herphilosophy beyond the traditional realm for women cannot be neglected.
