About This Item
N.Y.: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1859. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Hard cover. Green cloth covered boards, gilt lettering. Light wear on corners. Solid binding. 452 pages. Hailed for its sympathetic and accurate rendering of nineteenth-century English pastoral life, Adam Bede was George Eliot's first full-length novel and a bestseller from the moment of publication. Eliot herself called it "a country story - full of the breath of cows and scent of hay." Adam Bede is an earnest and virtuous carpenter who is betrayed by his love, Hetty Sorrel, a pretty but foolish dairymaid who is seduced by a careless villager. The bitter and tragic consequences of her actions shake the very foundations of their serene rural community.
Synopsis
Adam Bede, the first novel written by George Eliot (the pen name of Mary Ann Evans), was published in 1859. It was published pseudonymously, even though Evans was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time. The novel has remained in print ever since, and is used in university studies of 19th century English literature.
