About the Item
A finely bound set of the collected works of George Eliot, a wonderful presentation of her important novels.
Complete in twenty-one volumes.
The Standard Edition by William Blackwood.
A collection of the complete works of George Eliot.
George Eliot was the pseudonym used by the writer Mary Ann Evans. She published under a male name to escape the preconceived ideas about women's fiction during the era, becoming one of the best known Victorian writers. Many believe that her novel 'Middlemarch' is the greatest novel in the English Language.
A leading writer of Victorian England, Eliot's works were celebrated for their realism, psychological insight, and representation of the communities and characters of the provincial countryside.
This set contains:
'Adam Bede', complete in two volumes.
'Scenes of a Clerical Life', complete in two volumes.
'Romola', complete in two volumes.
'Middlemarch', complete in three volumes.
'Daniel Deronda', complete in three volumes.
'The Mill on the Floss', complete in two volumes.
'Felix Holt', complete in two volumes.
And, in a single volume each: 'Essays Etc'; 'Theophrastus Such'; 'Silas Marner Etc.'; 'Legend of Jubal etc'; 'The Spanish Gypsy'.
Bookplate of Andrew Pears of Spring Grove, Isleworth, to the front paste downs. Andrew Pears was the great-grandson of the inventor of Pears soap. Spring Grove was originally the home of famous botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who sailed the world with Captain Cook.
Undated, dated from Jisc from a copy held at the University of Aberdeen Libraries.
