Reviews

This is a thoroughly engaging, beautifully written account of one of George Eliot's least known works of fiction. Marucci places the story not only in the context of George Eliot's life and other writings, but also in the wider literary context, from German Romantic tales of the supernatural to the American Gothic of Poe and Hawthorne. He adds richly to our understanding and appreciation of this mysterious work -Prof. Rosemary Ashton, Emeritus Quain Professor of English Language and Literature at University College London, UK. This thoroughgoing analysis of George Eliot's disturbing novella sets 'The Lifted Veil' in a number of different contexts both familiar and unfamiliar. This is certainly the most concentrated study yet of a somewhat neglected work . -Prof. Gillian Beer, King Edward VII Professor Emeritus, University of Cambridge, UK.
