THE ETHIC OF THE GIFT IN GEORGE ELIOT'S DANIEL DERONDA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 March 2006
Abstract
In short, this [the exchange of gifts] represents an intermingling. Souls are mixed with things; things with souls. Lives are mingled together, and this is how, among persons and things so intermingled, each emerges from their own sphere and mixes together. This is precisely what contract and exchange are.
