BURT NEW YORK HARDCOVER BOOK -- DESCRIPTION OF ITEM: THIS IS A HARDCOVER COPY OF ADAM BEDE BY GEORGE ELIOT -- PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK CITY BY A.L. BURT AND COMPANY -- MARY ANNE (ALTERNATIVELY MARY ANN OR MARIAN) EVANS, BETTER KNOWN BY HER PEN NAME GEORGE ELIOT, WAS AN ENGLISH NOVELIST, JOURNALIST AND TRANSLATOR, AND ONE OF THE LEADING WRITERS OF THE VICTORIAN ERA. SHE IS THE AUTHOR OF SEVEN NOVELS, INCLUDING "ADAM BEDE" (1859) MOST OF THEM SET IN PROVINCIAL ENGLAND AND KNOWN FOR THEIR REALISM AND PSYCHOLOGICAL INSIGHT. SHE USED A MALE PEN NAME, SHE SAID, TO ENSURE HER WORKS WOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. FEMALE AUTHORS WERE PUBLISHED UNDER THEIR OWN NAMES DURING ELIOT'S LIFE, BUT SHE WANTED TO ESCAPE THE STEREOTYPE OF WOMEN ONLY WRITING LIGHTHEARTED ROMANCES. -- AN ADDITIONAL FACTOR IN HER USE OF A PEN NAME MAY HAVE BEEN A DESIRE TO SHIELD HER PRIVATE LIFE FROM PUBLIC SCRUTINY AND TO PREVENT SCANDALS ATTENDING HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MARRIED GEORGE HENRY LEWES, WITH WHOM SHE LIVED FOR OVER 20 YEARS.HER 1872 WORK, "MIDDLEMARCH," HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS THE GREATEST NOVEL IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE BY MARTIN AMIS AND BY JULIAN BARNES -- CONDITION: THIS HARDCOVER COPY OF ADAM BEDE IS AN ANTIQUE ITEM AND ALTHOUGH THIS ITEM WAS WELL CARED FOR BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT HAS SOME CONDITION ISSUES AS COULD BE EXPECTED IN ITEMS OF THIS AGE INCLUDING COVER, EDGE AND SPINE WEAR, CORNER BUMPING AND FADING WITH WEAR TO GILTING AS SHOWN.
