Adam Bede was the first novel by Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot), and was published in 1859. It was published pseudonymously, even though Evans was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time.
George Eliot's novel, 'Silas Marner,' is a poignant tale of redemption, set in the English countryside in the early 19th century. The book explores themes of social class, isolation, and the transformative power of love and community.
In Middlemarch, George Eliot fashions a concept of life and society free of the dogma of the past yet able to confront the scepticism of the age. This new critical edition features an introduction by Felicia Bonaparte.
