This volume of specially-commissioned essays provides introductions to all aspects of George Eliot's writing.
'… [Levine] has provided a series of essays unparalleled for their impressively succinct and sophisticated documentation of Eliot's life, work and thought, from politics to gender, from religion to science. This Companion really will be a companion to those readers, for whom it is intended, across the range of beginning student and mature researcher … Whenever I work on Eliot I shall turn to this Companion and so will everybody else … Levine's Companion will be indispensable to George Eliot enthusiasts.'
