Praise for The Marriage Question

‘Clare Carlisle's The Marriage Question is the best book I've read on George Eliot.’
— John Carey, Sunday Times

‘Finally, Eliot has got the biographer she deserves, namely an ardent and eloquent feminist philosopher who shows us how and why Eliot's books, rightly read, are as philosophically profound as any treatise written by a man.’
— Stuart Jeffries, Observer

‘This book manages to be both engrossing and rigorous, inhabiting an intimate and expansive vision of creativity and the lived life. Following the pulsing and ever-vital questions of love, desire, compromise and companionship, The Marriage Question is both a thrilling work on Eliot and a probing, illuminating reflection on modern love.’
— Seán Hewitt, author of All Down Darkness Wide
