About this ebook
An election in a Midlands town at the time of the first Reform Act, an heir who does not want the estate, and a radical who has to decide whether to lead a crowd he cannot control. Eliot researched the law of inheritance so thoroughly that she consulted a barrister for months. This edition is bound with a gallery of 52 plates after Hogarth, Romney, Gainsborough and Morland, and includes six illustrations restored and coloured for this volume.
