Book excerpt: In the first half of the 19th century in England there was a strong interest in German literature and scholarship. This study explores the impact of the work of Goethe on George Eliot, whose "elective affinity" with Goethe was both ethical and artistic, and analyzes Eliot's responsiveness to Goethe's moral vision and the literary uses she makes of her familiarity with his work. Concentrates on The Mill on the Floss and Daniel Deronda, showing their relationship with Die Wahlverwandtschaften and Faust. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
