George Eliot might seem an unlikely candidate to endure the imitative embrace of Victorian aftertexts: her work was popular but not populist like that of the eager, early Dickens, and her style was pronounced but not overwrought like that of the parody-provoking Edward Bulwer. In the estimation of John Holloway, Eliot was a sage, and she was also an oracle quoted in Alexander Main’s anthologies. A sage and an oracle might well escape the mercantile instincts of Reynolds and Prest and the satirical exercises of Fraser’s and Punch. Indeed, the kinds of aftertexts engendered by the successes (and failures) of Dickens and Bulwer seem, at first glance, to have neglected George Eliot.
