This, the author's first book, comprises three tales which first appeared in Blackwood's Magazine in 1857: 'The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton', 'Mr Gilfil's Love-Story' and 'Janet's Repentance'. The stories were widely praised for their domestic realism, pathos and humour, and Dickens himself was full of admiration for Eliot's writings, prompting much speculation about the identity of the author, who was widely supposed to be a clergyman or a clergyman's wife. George Eliot's rarest book and particularly so in the original cloth. (1)
