Abstract/Summary

This article examines George Eliot’s use of references to sculpture and of the sculptural metaphor and argues that this art form is central to her articulation and development of realism in fiction. In assessing sculpture’s links to women, Eliot highlights its temporal as well as its spatial dimensions, and, in so doing, disputes Gotthold Lessing’s analysis of this art form.
