George Eliot, pen name for Mary Ann Evans, was an English novelist and poet among other things.

Her writing is appreciated for her realism, countryside life depictions, and psychological insights.
The present collection is comprised of the following: Poems, together with Brother Jacob and The Lifted Veil; The Mill on the Floss; Felix Holt; Romola; Adam Bede; Clerical Life with Silas Marner. Novels feature a frontispiece and additional illustrated title page as well as black and white plates.
