| Footage description: | Through extracts from correspondence Susie Meikle shows how Eliot's early fervent Evangelicalism gave way to a more humanistic and sympathetic approach to people, partly she suggests through Eliot's own experiences. Eliot believed that the only way to present the 'invisible' world of belief, morality, right and wrong, was through close attention 'to the details of the visible word', an approach that informed her own novels. |
