Eliot, George. Works of George Eliot George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) (1819-80), born in Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire. Victorian writer, and freethinker, whose novels were insightful with psychological and moral overtones, based on the characters of many people she knew. Eliot's first collection of tales, SCENES OF CLERICAL LIFE, appeared in 1858 under the pseudonym George Eliot (in Victorian times, writing was considered a male profession); followed by her first novel, ADAM BEDE, a tragic love story, in which she used her father as the title character; THE MILL ON THE FLOSS (1860), a story of destructive family relations; SILAS MARNER (1861); MIDDLEMARCH (1871-72), a novel of English provincial life in the early nineteenth century, seemingly inspired by her life at Coventry, follows the sexual and intellectual frustrations of Dorothea Brookea; ROMOLA, a historical romance, published serially first in the Cornhill Magazine and in book form in 1863, (Henry James considered it the finest thing she wrote); DANIEL DERONDA (1876) (Eliot's last novel); a psychological novel of a spoiled girl and her increasing awareness. A moral and politcal treatise with emphasis on the society of English Jews in Victorian England; ESSAYS AND POEMS; FELIX HOLT, Theophrastus Such (The Radical) (1866), set against the backdrop of the general election of 1832 as it apparently occurred in the fictional town of Treby Magna. Maroon cloth boards and spine, gilt bright to spine. Chips, closed tears, to spine ends and edges. Binding very tight, text clean and bright. Decorative private library plate to each pastedown, name crossed out, few f.e.p.'s have a pale line from the ink of crossed out name.
