About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 100 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, Marco Ricci and Joseph Vernet. A village carpenter loves a dairymaid who has caught the eye of the young squire, and a Methodist woman preacher sees where it must end. Eliot observes a whole community — workshop, farm, chapel, hall — and lets one act of weakness work through it across a generation. Paintings of pastoral landscape, village workshops and harvest fields accompany this Gilded Library edition; the ornament is a carpenter's plane, wheat ears and an oak bough.

About the author
Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880) edited the Westminster Review and translated German theology before writing a line of fiction, then took a man's name so the work would be judged as work. This was her first full-length novel; Middlemarch followed thirteen years later.
