George Eliot and John Everett Millais: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Realism.
In an effort to recover the extensive cross-fertilization between literary and visual representation in the Victorian period, I discuss the possible influence of John Everett Millais’s Christ in the House of His Parents (1849–50) on George Eliot’s Adam Bede (1859). Bringing to bear on this connectio...

At the heart of this dissent—and of the outraged reactions to Millais’s painting—is the role of the flawed human body. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
