Adam Bede
by George Eliot
Adam Bede is George Eliot's first novel, published pseudonymously in 1859 despite the fact that Eliot (whose real name was Mary Ann Evans) was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time, translating into English and publishing highly influential and significant texts (such as David Friedrich Strauss's "Das Leben Jesu" in 1846). Only a year previously she had published Scenes of Clerical Life, further establishing her intellectual prominence. As her first novel, Adam Bede was a great success with both critics and public alike. It remains one of the Victorian Era's best examples of the realist novel.
