How can broadly Christian principles continue to inform a commercialising society that is losing its faith?
I started a commeht, and am not sure where it went! Now I saw, then I didn't!
Anyway, Henry, thanks for this illuminating insight about the fairy tale/mystical tropes and the clear-eyed realism.
I'm continually amazed by the exquisite descriptions of people, places, and events in Eliot.
As you point out, she is a celebrator of the ordinary and takes pains to draw out the implications of our subtle moral choices.
Thank you!!! (I must now re-read this novel!)
