George Eliot

This biography of George Eliot, published just three years after her death, provides a fascinating insight into the life and times of one of the greatest female authors of the Victorian era. Written by a contemporary critic, it weaves together Eliot's fiction and life, giving readers an illuminating perspective on her work. Eliot's legacy includes seven novels, such as 'Adam Bede', 'Middlemarch', and 'Daniel Deronda', which are known for their psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depictions of the English countryside. 'Middlemarch', in particular, is regarded by many as the greatest novel in the English language.
