title = "George Eliot's Translations",
abstract = "Rather than being read as literary works in their own right, George Eliot{\textquoteright}s translations have more often been mined for information about what beliefs she may have held and the possible influence of these ideas on her fiction. Yet a large part of Eliot{\textquoteright}s literary career was devoted to translating the works of Strauss, Feuerbach, and Spinoza; to contemplating further translations and including short translations in her articles; to reviewing translations; and to writing about the nature and difficulties of translation. This chapter places Eliot back into the context of nineteenth-century translation practices in order to consider the choices she made as a translator, as well as the formative philosophical apprenticeship undertaken via her translation work. It also explores how that work was embedded in the intimate relationships that shaped her professional and personal life.",
