Excellent- More about George Eliot's 'The Lifted Veil': A Sequential and Contextual Reading
The Lifted Veil by George Eliot is a compact macrotext that recurs with themes, motifs, patterns, and cultural and personal archetypes. It is contextualized by placing it within Eliot's oeuvre and against the background of Victorian mid-century fiction, intersecting various contemporary genres and subgenres. However, critical literature has tended to overlook the encrypting of the experience of a failed religious conversion and the foreshadowing of the search for a spiritual and racial identity of Daniel Deronda, the hero of Eliot's final novel.

The historical criticism surrounding George Eliot's "The Lifted Veil" has been widely recognized as a significant error, and in recent years, the story has been firmly re-established within Eliot's esteemed canon. This book proposes that Eliot's body of work can be considered a compact macrotext, where themes, motifs, patterns, and cultural and personal archetypes reappear with variations. "The Lifted Veil" serves as a pivotal element in this overarching narrative. By employing a mimetic enunciation that mimics the gradual process of defining events, places, and characters as they have appeared to the narrating "I" over time, the story is structured in a sequential manner. Contextualizing "The Lifted Veil" involves placing it within Eliot's oeuvre and against the backdrop of Victorian mid-century fiction. Furthermore, it can be seen as intersecting various contemporary genres and subgenres, such as the European and American "literature of the veil," the archetypal icon of the femme fatale, and Wilkie Collins' "dead secret novels."
However, a crucial aspect that critical literature on "The Lifted Veil" has tended to overlook is the encryption of the experience of a failed religious conversion and the foreshadowing of Daniel Deronda, the hero of Eliot's final novel, in his quest for a spiritual and racial identity.
