UID:20251203-8ac672c69a9158c4019aa708f5a362ba@warwick.ac.uk CREATED:20251121T153015Z DESCRIPTION:Faculty of Arts colleagues and students are warmly invited to come along to a forthcoming Department of English and Comparative Liter ary Studies research seminar. The research seminar will take place in th e Student Hub (FAB5.49). Drinks and nibbles are provided. Wednesday 3 De cember\, 4pm\, FAB5.49: Causation in The Mill on the Floss Dr Andrea Sel leri George Eliot’s second novel was published in 1860\, at a time when the author was intensely engaged with the relationship between abstract theoretical topics and people’s everyday lives. In this talk I aim to dr aw attention to one philosophical problem with which Eliot seems to have been especially preoccupied while writing this novel\, and whose influe nce can be seen both at the macroscopic level of plot and at the local l evels of characterisation and narratorial commentary. The problem in que stion is that of causation\, and its novelistic corollary is the questio n of how it operates in people’s lives. Of course\, at some level\, any story must engage with causation\, in the sense of presupposing some log ic for the events of its plot\; but in The Mill on the Floss\, I will ar gue\, there is a quasi-systematic attempt on Eliot’s part to transcend t he classic novelistic paradigm of “motivation” and replace it with a mor e capacious set of considerations about how people’s conscious reasons f or their actions are embedded in a complex tissue of supra-personal fact ors. These include historical and economic considerations\, but also an element of randomness. By situating Eliot’s engagement with causation wi thin a seldom considered British nineteenth-century philosophical tradit ion concerned with the free will vs. determinism debate\, and in particu lar by considering the influence of philosopher Charles Bray’s “incompat ibilism”\, I hope to provide a rationale for some of the features of Eli ot’s novel\, e.g. the oft-noticed oddity of its ending. Dr Andrea Seller i has worked in the Department of English Language and Literature at Bil kent University in Ankara\, and at the University of ĚÇĐÄTV\, where he completed his PhD in 2014. His research is mostly concerned with the rel ations between Victorian literature\, criticism and philosophy. His work has appeared in the Review of English Studies\, Victorian Periodicals R eview\, Victorian Literature and Culture\, English Literary History\, Ph ilosophy and Literature\, and Notes and Queries. He is the editor of the third volume of the Routledge series Literature and Philosophy in Ninet eenth-Century British Culture.
