Thompson argues that Eliot was able to draw selectively on a powerful Risorgimento mythology of national regeneration and that her engagement with the work of Dante Alighieri increases steadily in her later novels, where the Divine Comedy becomes a sustaining metaphor for Eliot's meliorist vision and for her theme of moral growth through suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45282530656407,"sku":"9780333694565","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780333694565.webp?v=1769302422","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/george-eliot-and-italy-9780333694565","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
