George Henry Lewes, consort of George Eliot biographer of Robespierre and Goethe, novelist, editor, and critic, was also a scientist and philosopher. An intellectual figure of great importance on the Victorian scene, he has never before received adequate modern scholarly appreciation. In this book Professor Tjoa not only reconstructs Lewes' theory of criticism and his social and political opinions but also evaluates his contributions to Darwinian science both as original thinker and as popularizer. With skillful discrimination, moreover, Mr. Tjoa has extracted from Lewes' massive five-volume Problems of Life and Mind a clear and succinct account of Lewes' metaphysical views. Literature and art, politics and societs science and an in- formed Victorian philosophy of man and the universe: the effervescent Lewes made important contributions to all. Hitherto in danger of surviving in our minds only as the lover, friend, and counselor of one of the Victorian age's greatest novelists, Lewes emerges in Mr. Ijoa's brief and lucid study as a thinker to he remembered for his writings as well.

Known as the consort of George Eliot, Lewes was much more than a companion to one of the greatest novelists of his time. He was a biographer of Robespierre and Goethe, a novelist, editor, critic, scientist, and philosopher. The book reconstructs Lewes' theory of criticism, his social and political opinions, and evaluates his contributions to Darwinian scienceboth as an original thinker and as a popularizer. It also presents a clear summary of his metaphysical ideas drawn from his five-volume work *Problems of Life and Mind*.Lewes emerges as a multifaceted intellectual, contributing to literature, art, politics, social thought, and Victorian philosophy. This study restores him to his rightful place as a thinker whose writings merit attention, moving beyond his association with George Eliot to focus on his wider achievements.The author, Hock Guan Tjoa, is Lecturer in History and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Malaya, adding depth and expertise to this succinct yet insightful analysis.This book will be carefully packaged to ensure protection during shipment.
