GEORGE ELIOT'S AIM AS A NOVELIST

'...the only effect I ardently long to produce by my writings is that those who read them should be better able to imagine and to feel the pains and joys of those who differ from themselves in everything but the broad fact of being struggling erring human creatures.' 
George Eliot quoted in Stephen Gill's Introduction to Adam Bede, p.39.
