Scenes of Clerical Life, E-bok

Therapist. Peacemaker. Pillar of the community. A country parson in 19th century England was all this and more. In Scenes of Clerical Life , George Eliot offers a poignant portrait of three such clergymen. Each has his virtues and his faults, and a colourful cast of parishioners. And every day seems to bring a new moral dilemma to solve. Scenes of Clerical Life was Eliot’s first published piece of fiction. Witty and warm, it points the way forward to her later masterpieces like Middlemarch . George Eliot, pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans (1819–1890), was an English novelist, journalist and poet. She took a realist approach to storytelling, finding the drama and beauty in the day-to-day existence of England’s rural working classes. Her most famous novels include Middlemarch , The Mill on the Floss and Adam Bede .Eliot’s personal life was the subject of some controversy. For over two decades, she lived together with George Henry Lewes, a married man—he was estranged from his wife but never officially divorced. Their relationship offended Victorian sensibilities, but failed to dent Eliot’s popularity with readers. The pair are buried side-by-side in London’s Highgate Cemetery.
