Böcker av George Eliot

30th December 1852: After an unhappy Christmas, Marian Evans returns to London. Today will mark the first day of a bitter feud between Marian and her brother, Isaac. Indeed, the rift between them will become so great that Marian becomes trapped into an endless repeating-cycle in which she keeps returning to this moment, as many "alternate" futures are played out. In an "alternate" time-line, Marian Evans resigns her job as Editor of the Westminster Review in 1851. This version of history will remember Marian as a translator, journalist and philosopher - but not as novelist. She will disappear into obscurity following the publication of the second novel by Warwickshire writer, Joseph Liggins. Marian next finds herself on a railway platform at Nuneaton Station, some time in the early twenty first century of this "alternate" world. Here she befriends a young man whom claims he will have a major influence upon the direction of her life in the years to come.

George Eliot was the literary pseudonym of British author Mary Anne Evans, born in 1819 in Warwickshire and destined to be one of the most celebrated and notorious of British female writers. Many of her novels deal with happy memories of her Warwickshire childhood, including her first great novel, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner. For their depiction of childhood experiences and illustrations of children learning about moral themes, George Eliot's works have been taught as classic literature since their initial publication. Silas Marner is regarded by many as one of Eliot's best books, second only to her masterpiece, Middlemarch. The story of the miser and title character of Silas Marner, and his redemption from greed and misery by the love of a small child, is one of the classics of English literature.

In this rich and humorous portrayal of eighteenth-century rural life, Geoffrey Beevers remains true to George Eliot's original novel. Adam Bede, a young carpenter of integrity, loves Hetty Sorrel, a pretty and self-centred dairymaid, who herself dreams of Arthur Donnithorne, the young squire. Arthur cannot resist seducing her, and their passion has tragic consequences for the whole community.|3 women, 3 men

Eliot's story of the reclusive miser who is transformed by a young girl is one of the most moving and memorable in Victorian literature. This adaptation captures the novel's thirty year sweep in a series of telling scenes, each displaying Eliot's gifts for humor, insight and simple beauty. The large cast can be trimmed to seven multiple roles and it is possible to keep costumes and props to a minimum.-8 women, 15 men

Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880) used the pen name George Eliot to be taken seriously, and she was. One of the leading writers of the Victorian, Eliot is best known for The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, and Middlemarch, written with realism and psychological insight.
