Abstract
Having examined the Italian background, we now look at George Eliot’s own contact with Italian life and culture as revealed through her reading, letters and journals, her journalism and her trips to Italy in the 20 years or so until Unification. The treatment given is roughly chronological, though I have not attempted to give an exhaustive survey of Eliot’s contact with Italian life. Rather I have concentrated on those elements which seem to me to be of significance for her fiction or which convey a sense of Eliot’s sometimes passionate engagement with Italy in the period up until 1861.
