Character and Ethical Development in Three Novels of George Eliot - Middlemarch, Romola, Daniel Deronda
 Armstrong, Heather
2002 0-7734-7325-4 212 pages
This work contributes original, sometimes surprising readings of these three novels. The detailed textual examination of encounters between Eliot’s characters refresh one’s sense of the complexity and centrality of these moments. The study’s greatest contribution is in its union of the fields of philosophy and ethics with that of literature, using the theories of Emmanuel Levinas and Martin Buber. It also includes a reevaluation of Eliot’s use of Feuerbach, and fresh look at Eliot’s views on morality, duty, sympathy, and imagination.

George Eliot and Judaism
 Baker, William
1975 0-7734-0312-4 274 pages
In this, her last published novel, Eliot used Jewish concerns thematically, symbolically, and character-wise. With few exceptions, there has been little serious analysis of Eliot's knowledge of Judaism and the use to which she put it in her creative work. This study made use of her letters and notebooks to investigate these questions.

GEORGE ELIOT AND VICTORIAN ATTITUDES TO RACIAL DIVERSITY, COLONIALISM, DARWINISM, CLASS, GENDER, AND JEWISH CULTURE AND PROPHECY
 McKay, Brenda
2003 0-7734-6621-5 636 pages
This interdisciplinary approach to Eliot’s writings places her within the wider context of debates on racial and cultural differences, furnishing an altered context for scholars to return to her fiction and poetry. It brings together a discussion of her fiction with an account of the activities of Victorian members of groups such as the Anthropological Society, scrutinizing Eliot’s dislike of colonialism and her responses to the Indian Mutiny and the Jamaica rebellion. It also examines Victorian attitudes to Gypsies, Black slaves, Indians, Jews and Turks. The novels are discussed within the context of contemporary theories about race, with reference to Robert Knox, Darwin, Huxley, and the work of social philosophers Comte and Herbert Spencer. It also discusses a range of other writers in relation to Eliot, including J. G. Herder, Harriet Beecher Stowe, the ethnologists J. C. Prichard and Gobineau, and Jewish writers Halevi, Maimonides, and Luria.
