Description

Hardback. 252pp. George Eliot had lived in the Nuneaton-Coventry area for over thirty years when she set up home with a married man, George Lewes. Such a scandalous and independent act made it very hard for her to return home. During her exile she invokes in her novels details of scenes and places from her childhood. Graham Handley considers George Eliot's evocation not only of place but also of Midlands society including family life, religion, politics, class, work and education. A small number of black and white plates.
