Each essay begins with an intriguing or problematic bit of language, then moves about within a particular work of fiction or criss-cross to other writings of Eliot's as well as to works by philosophers, psychoanalysts, and literary theorists. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Neil Hertz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804743908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804743907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.80w x 0.48d","brand":"Neil Hertz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947216765183,"sku":"9780804743907","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_965119dd-32c3-475e-9aa9-0728c2509241.jpg?v=1681517417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-eliots-pulse-neil-hertz-9780804743907","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
