{"product_id":"george-henry-lewes-hock-guan-tjoa-9780674348745","title":"George Henry Lewes: A Victorian Mind","description":"George Henry Lewes, consort of George Eliot biographer of Robespierre and Goethe, novelist, editor, and critic, was also a scientist and philosopher. An intellectual figure of great importance on the Victorian scene, he has never before received adequate modern scholarly appreciation. In this book Professor Tjoa not only reconstructs Lewes' theory of criticism and his social and political opinions but also evaluates his contributions to Darwinian science both as original thinker and as popularizer. With skillful discrimination, moreover, Mr. Tjoa has extracted from Lewes' massive five-volume \u003ci\u003eProblems of Life and Mind\u003c\/i\u003e a clear and succinct account of Lewes' metaphysical views. Literature and art, politics and societs science and an in- formed Victorian philosophy of man and the universe: the effervescent Lewes made important contributions to all. Hitherto in danger of surviving in our minds only as the lover, friend, and counselor of one of the Victorian age's greatest novelists, Lewes emerges in Mr. Ijoa's brief and lucid study as a thinker to he remembered for his writings as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hock Guan Tjoa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674348745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674348745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/1978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.64w x 0.75d","brand":"Hock Guan Tjoa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096690467071,"sku":"9780674348745","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/george-henry-lewes-hock-guan-tjoa-9780674348745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
