Funded Activity Summary

George Eliot: the life of a pseudonym. Australia grew to nationhood during the long reign - from 1837 to 1901 - of Queen Victoria. Along with British law and customs, British culture migrated to the Australian colonies. The novelist George Eliot is a significant representative of the liberal humanist ideas and attitudes that reinforced the emergence of Australia's egalitarian, secular society. Analysis of the career of this Victorian cultural icon extends understanding and interpretation of an aspect of our national heritage. In addition, this project contributes to increasing Australia's already high international standing in the field of Victorian studies.
