John Stuart Mill, George Eliot, and the Sovereignty of the Mind
Abstract
In this SIP, I have attempted to focus on several
intersecting issues which Mill and Eliot address in their
respective works. Chapter one discusses aspects of culture,
such as knowledge, education, and the expression of opinion
and thought, and the problem with the tyranny of custom.
Chapter two focuses on one of the main aspects of culture:
communal and individual development. Chapter three narrows down the idea of the
importance of development and expression to deal
specifically with women, their oppression in the Victorian
era, and the effects of class rank upon subjection. If you are not a current K College student, faculty, or staff member, email dspace@kzoo.edu to request access to this SIP.
