乔治·爱略特的思想和她的小说创作与19世纪的科学理论有密切的关系。以地质学均变论和灾变论的争论为切入点,本文分析了爱略特多部小说中的变化模式,得出爱略特是均变论者的结论。均变论在一定程度上影响了小说的情节安排、人物塑造,也从一个侧面反映了爱略特的道德观。她重视“过去”对人类生活的意义,她寄希望于普通人微不足道的善行来改良社会,这些或许都与均变论有相当的关联。 George Eliot’s ideas and her novels are closely related to 19th century scientific theories.

She values ​​ “past ” significance to human life, she hopes in ordinary people insignificant deeds to improve the society, these may be equal and equal variation theory is quite relevant.
