Description
The first of her fictitious works to be published and the first to have her famous pseudonym attached, Scenes of Clerical Life was an amazing start to an incredible career for George Eliot. Consisting of three stories, "The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton," "Mr. Gilfil's Love Story" and "Janet's Repentance," the collection focuses on the religious uncertainty apparent in England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries with the appearance of Methodism and other "dissenting" sects of Christianity. Featuring clergymen attempting to function within society and their congregations with these changes, the stories became instantly popular for their unique characters, plots and themes and the beautifully illustrated scenes published in the first edition.
