First published in 1876, "Daniel Deronda" was George Eliot's final novel. Controversial in its time for its morally ambiguous characterizations and its sympathy for the proto-Zionist movement, the novel is regarded today as one of the great social satires of the Victorian era. The story begins with the meeting of Daniel Deronda and the beautiful but stubborn and selfish, Gwendolen Harleth, whom he witnesses loses all her money at a game of roulette....

In the novel, Eliot depicts small-town life in the 1830s with its class system, rivalries, and social restrictions in minute detail. She beautifully...

"The Lifted Veil" is a dark fantasy about a young artist with clairvoyant abilities, and explores the science of the brain, mesmerism, phrenology, as well as themes of fate, and the mysteries of life and life after death. "Brother Jacob," a satirical modern fable, tells the story of a spiteful young man who is unsatisfied with...

This 1884 volume republishes articles that first appeared in magazines prior to Eliot's fame as a novelist. Eliot herself selected and edited the articles prior to her death. Included as well are a number of "notes" written by Eliot for later expansion in her novels or simply to develop an idea for its own sake. Of these latter, "Judgments on Authors," "Story-telling," and "Value of Originality" are of exceptional interest.

In this essay, originally published anonymously in The Westminster Review (1856), George Eliot examines the state of women's fiction in her time.

Eliot divides 'silly novels by lady novelists' into several distinct categories: the mind-and-millinery species, the oracular...
