Kathryn Hughes's sympathetic, human, and immensely readable biography provides a truly nuanced view of Eliot, and is the first to grapple equally with the personal dramas that shaped her psyche -- particularly her rejection by her brother Isaac -- and her social and intellectual context. Together, Hughes shows how these elements forged the themes of Eliot's work, her insistance that ideological interests be subordinated to the bonds between human beings -- a message that has keen resonance in our own uneasy time.
