"George Eliot's Modern St. Theresa"
One of the main themes of George Eliot's Middlemarch is the kind of love that desires to help other people. Eliot describes her heroine, Dorothea, as "haunted" by "the idea of some active good within her reach." This lecture examines how Dorothea's desire for the good is purified, how she learns the art of helping, and how she uses this art.
The second half of the lecture focuses on chapter 81 of Middlemarch, in which Dorothea attempts to "save" Tertius and Rosamond Lydgate, who are in danger of being overwhelmed by severe trials.
