Summary
Felix Holt is a novel that examines the central relationship between politics and tradition, and in doing so sounded the storm warning of cultural alarm. The problem of social continuity was one that exercised George Eliot greatly. Her concern that change (at the time she was writing, the Second Reform Bill was about to be passed) should come about out of 'man's passion, feeling and desires', rather than being imposed by sterile political edict, is one that infuses the novel. By contrasting the lives of two women - Mrs Transome unbending and bloodless, a woman who embodies the worst elements of the past; and Esther, who fights free of her Transome connection in order to face the future with Felix, whose politics and attitudes embody a vital, creative future - she achieves both a personal drama and political debate in a novel that is an imaginative and organic tour de force.
