George Eliot's imagination had to scrape what nourishment it could from the bare bones of Puritan ethics; her narrow way led beneath a dull sky into darkness; she had to persuade herself that a life of self-denial was sufficiently rewarded by the consciousness of virtue.
George Eliot's representative quality is due largely to her unique position, amongst imaginative writers, as a focus for the best (and the worst) that was being said and thought in her time, in europe as well as at home.
George Eliot was the first English novelist to move in the vanguard of the thought and learning of her day, and in so doing added new scope and dignity to the English novel.

  George Saintsbury wrote that, “Jane Eyre is both original and forceful, it is a portrait painting rather than a creative art, for it follows too closely the author’s own experiences.
  George Saintsbury even claimed that Jane, “is much more than an underbred little hussy, I fear there is underbreeding and hussiness in her” (p 276).
  Saintsbury even backs up his argument by claiming that Bronte’s other novels such as “Villette” and “The Professor” are not as acclaimed as “Jane Eyre” because there was no comparison to her life, therefore it wasn’t as interesting because Bronte has no imagination to spur her ideas of originality.

 Papers on Language and Literature: To criticize the critic: George Saintsbury on Goethe
Rather, situated on the threshold of Modernism, Saintsbury's critique of Goethe anticipates a radical transition in critical norms; in distancing himself from the "didactic" concerns of German critics and their British admirers, he rejects "the gradual ascendency obtained by Anthropology [his term for an absorption with character] over...
Clearly, Saintsbury's dispute with Goethe has to do with the perceived duties of the critic and the claims that may be placed on the text.
Saintsbury rather tendentiously argues that there is an essential continuity of opinion from Goethe's Sturm und Drang views to his last remarks recorded shortly before his death:

This relates how George was wrecked on the island, the ship perishing "with man and mouse," except himself, his master's daughter, two white maidservants, and a negro girl.
The island proves pleasant and habitable: and George, to prevent unfairness and ill-feeling, unites himself to all his female companions, the quintet living in perfect harmony.
Thirty-seven children result: and these at first necessarily intermarry; but after this first generation, a rule is made that brothers and sisters may not unite—the descendants of the four original wives forming clans who may marry into the others but not into their own.
