The complete set of novels of one of the leading novelists of the Victorian era, George Eliot, along with her short story collection Scenes of Clerical Life.
With most of her novels set in provincial England, Eliot's works are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place and detailed depiction of the countryside.
