About this Item

THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans, remains to this day a literary icon famous for writing such classics as Middlemarch, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner. Although undated inside, research tells us that this is the 1887 'New Edition' of George Eliot's Life As Related in Her Letters and Journals. Originally published as a three volume set in 1885, this 'New Edition' of 1887 was compiled into one volume with additional material added and some pages removed altogether. Arranged and edited by Eliot's widower J. W. Cross, this book aims to chart the whole of Eliot's life in her own words and acquaint the reader with her more intimate side, with her literary fame coming late in life, her shyness about the upheaval and recognition this brought, the joys of the hearth-side, the delight in the love of her friends, all of which come to light in the documents. There are beautiful illustrations throughout accompanying the text of Eliot herself and her homesteads drawn by Frederic Burton, plus a copy of Eliot's handwriting. Book remains in remarkable condition considering its age. Cover and spine are in good shape. Pages remain very clean and vibrant, although there is some tanning and crinkling to page edges. Plus, there are areas within book where spine is starting to become visible through the pages. Does contain some outdated language from the time period. Please see photographs.
