ABSTRACT
After World War II, however, Eliot's mind and art were reassessed. She continues to be admired for her large social observations, for the intellectual and emotional power of her fiction, and for the range and depth of her characterizations, narrative voices, social analysis, and wry humor. At the same time, formal studies of her work, particularly of her analogical imagination, metaphorical brilliance, and organic structure, have greatly increased the appreciation of her artistry. While Eliot's preoccupation with moral problems continues to fascinate readers, she is now admired not for her moral surety but for her presentation and understanding of complex moral dilemmas.
