Beschreibung:
While the problem of Victorian "relativism" exists in both Darwinian and Idealist cultural discourses, it is the higher criticism of the Bible which explicitly takes human testimony and the problems of textual interpretation as its subject. Drawing on work by Strauss and Feuerbach, whom George Eliot translated, this paper argues that the formal and epistemological complexity of "Middlemarch" has its philosophical analogue in the discourse of the higher critics, which provides a nineteenth-century model for the understanding of narrative, testimony, and interpretive fictions.
