George Eliot’s (Mary Ann Evans) first novel was published in 1859.
Although she was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time, Evans decided to adopt a male penname.
The story’s plot follows four characters’ rural lives in the fictional community of Hayslope — a rural, pastoral and close-knit community in 1799. The novel revolves around a love “rectangle” between beautiful but self-absorbed Hetty Sorrel, Captain Arthur Donnithorne, the young squire who seduces her, Adam Bede, her unacknowledged suitor, and Dinah Morris, Hetty’s cousin, a fervent, virtuous and beautiful Methodist lay preacher.
A very rare set of the first edition of three volumes
