About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 55 full-page plates by Luke Fildes, William Powell Frith and Myles Birket Foster. Three stories of Midland clergymen - one poor and put upon, one in love with a girl whose heart is elsewhere, one who rescues a lawyer's wife from drink. Eliot's first fiction, published anonymously in Blackwood's; Dickens read it and wrote to say he was sure the author was a woman, which nobody else had guessed. Fifty-five plates of English parish churches and country scenes by painters including John Constable and Myles Birket Foster give these clerical tales their matching rural light.
