What this thesis studies is a remarkable authoress of British Victoria era. Her original name was called Mary Ann Evans , just for publishing her own work smoothly she adopted the male pseudonym" George Eliot". Perhaps the foreign literary circles at home has been faded from memory in Eliot's name, but the artistic achievement that she made does not permit us to take the ignoring attitude to her. Her vivid care to the social ethics and attainments on the psychology describing worth further studying.The thesis briefly retrospects and summarizes a history of the study to George Eliot, and put forward my point of view at first. The second chapter studies George Eliot's works from the view of Literature ethics exactly. From the text and social historical background, I have explored the deep integration between Eliot's morals feelings and her literary creation. This chapter discusses mainly in three respects: Eliot pays attention to the essential function of the morals emotion; In the morals emotion, that Eliot praised highly the theory of love and sympathizing; Because of the above ethical content, she proposed the humanistic religious morals. Based on the analysis of the image of her text, the preceding chapter reveals George Eliot's viewpoint on women dominated by her human moral concept. This text makes every effort to find the relation between Eliot's ethics thought and women's view, and probes into Eliot's special concern about the questions of women deeply.
