"'Middlemarch' är en storartad roman, så levande och myllrande. [---] Hans-Jacob Nilsson har gjort ett enastående arbete med den nya svenska språkdräkten. Han har blåst bort dammet från denna 150-åriga roman och gett den en ny fräschör och sinnlighet." Åsa Beckman, Dagens Nyheter
"en av årets viktigaste litterära händelser." Kristoffer Leandoer, SvD
"När tidernas bästa romaner ska koras hamnar George Eliots tegelsten 'Middlemarch' från 1872 inte sällan i topp. Romanen, som äntligen kommit i suverän nyöversättning av Hans-Jacob Nilsson, är scen för scen och mening för mening något av det skarpaste och roligaste som skrivits på det engelska språket. Dessutom har den ett intrigmässigt driv som få 900-sidiga romaner kan skryta med." Amanda Svensson, Sydsvenskan.
"Det som ofta glöms bort i alla de hundratals böcker och avhandlingar som försökt gå på djupet med Middlemarch och dess litterära och sociopolitiska betydelser, är att det även är en charmig och framför allt fruktansvärt rolig bok. Det finns ingen annan viktoriansk roman där jag vikt sönder så många hörn för att kunna citera den för andra." Martin Gelin, Vi läser.
Virginia Woolf beskrev den som en av få romaner som har skrivits för vuxna. När BBC 2015 rankade de hundra främsta brittiska romanerna någonsin, kom "Middlemarch" på första plats. Nu kommer den i en efterlängtad nyöversättning av Hans-Jacob Nilsson som fått utmärkelsen Årets översättning 2025.
Tiden är 1830-tal och landsortshålan Middlemarch håller på att moderniseras. Huvudperson är den idealistiska Dorothea Brooke, som gifter sig med den uppblåste prästen Casaubon, men utan att få något tillbaka. Här finns även doktor Lydgate, ambitiös och progressiv, men också naiv och fångad i ett olyckligt äktenskap.
George Eliots klassiker från 1871 är en roman om ett samhälle i förändring. Men mest av allt är "Middlemarch" en klassisk bildningsroman, en oförglömlig skildring av Dorothea Brookes kamp för att finna verklig och varaktig kärlek.

Silas Marner flyr sin strängt religiösa omgivning efter att ha anklagats för ett brott han inte begått. Han börjar ett nytt liv, som vävare i utkanten av en liten stad. Med tiden tjänar han ihop en förmögenhet, men ödet har gjort honom känslokall och bitter. Och än en gång ska Silas Marner förlora allt han äger. Det är först när han tvingas adoptera en föräldralös flicka, som han finner anledning att åter söka sin tro.George Eliots Silas Marner [1861] är både en realistisk roman och en moralisk saga, med den engelska landsbygden som spelplats. En av den engelska litteraturens stora klassiker, här i översättning av Ingegerd von Tell. I bokform på svenska för första gången på 38 år.GEORGE ELIOT, egentligen MARY ANN EVANS [1819-1880], var en engelsk romanförfattare. Flera av hennes verk räknas till den brittiska litteraturens viktigaste i en realistisk romantradition. Ofta utspelar de sig på den engelska landsbygden och utmärks av en djupt inkännande psykologisk detaljskildring som var långt före sin tid.

Considered one the masterpieces of realist fiction, George Eliot's novel, Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life, explores a fictional nineteenth-century Midlands town in the midst of modern changes. The quiet drama of ordinary lives and flawed choices are played out in the complexly portrayed central characters of the novel-the idealistic Dorothea Brooke; the ambitious Dr. Lydgate; the spendthrift Fred Vincy; and the steadfast Mary Garth. The appearance of two outsiders further disrupts the town's equilibrium-Will Ladislaw, the spirited nephew of Dorothea's husband, the Rev. Edward Casaubon, and the sinister John Raffles, who threatens to expose the hidden past of one of the town's elite.

'the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts' The greatest 'state of the nation' novel in English, Middlemarch addresses ordinary life at a moment of great social change, in the years leading to the Reform Act of 1832. Through her portrait of a Midlands town, George Eliot addresses gender relations and class, self-knowledge and self-delusion, community and individualism. Eliot follows the fortunes of the town's central characters as they find, lose, and rediscover ideals and vocations in the world. Through its psychologically rich portraits, the novel contains some of the great characters of literature, including the idealistic but naïve Dorothea Brooke, beautiful and egotistical Rosamund Vincy, the dry scholar Edward Casaubon, the wise and grounded Mary Garth, and the brilliant but proud Dr Lydgate. In its whole view of a society, the novel offers enduring insight into the pains and pleasures of life with others, and explores nearly every subject of concern to modern life:. art, religion, science, politics, self, society, and, above all, human relationships. This edition uses the definitive Clarendon text.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World''One of the few English novels written for grown-up people' Virginia WoolfGeorge Eliot's nuanced and moving novel is a masterly evocation of connected lives, changing fortunes and human frailties in a provincial community.

I början av 1800-talet blev romanläsandet en populär sysselsättning. Nya tryckmetoder och bättre kommunikationer spred den nya underhållningsformen. Tekniska och vetenskapliga framsteg som järnvägar och elektricitet, tillsammans med spiritism och andra flugor, förändrade världen. Horace Walpole hade skrivit sin skräckroman Borgen i Otranto några årtionden tidigare, och 1818 kom Mary Shelleys Frankenstein. Sådana böcker blev början till en våg av gotisk skräck i framför allt Storbritannien mer eller mindre övernaturliga berättelser i miljöer med vittrande slott, åskväder, sönderslitna moln och månsken över upprörda hav, alltsammans befolkat av hålögda adelsmän och bleka jungfrur. Många av de som skrev gotisk skräck var kvinnor, och några av dem finns i den här samlingen. Inte bara deras noveller och romaner var förfärande och utmanande, utan kanske ännu mer deras sätt att leva: ogifta; boende ensamma; boende med gifta män; till och med boende med andra kvinnor! Novellerna i boken är skrivna mellan 1840- och 90-talen, av författare som systrarna Brontë, George Eliot och Charlotte Perkins Gilman, och förtjänar mycket väl att läsas än i dag.

'she felt herself standing at the game of life with many eyes upon her, daring everything to win much'Gwendolen Harleth gambles her happiness when she marries a sadistic aristocrat for his money. Beautiful, neurotic, and self-centred, Gwendolen is trapped in an increasingly destructive relationship, and only her chance encounter with the idealistic Deronda seems to offer the hope of a brighter future. Deronda is searching for a vocation, and in embracing the Jewish cause he finds one that is both visionary and life-changing. Damaged by their pasts, and alienated from the society around them, they must both discover the values that will give their lives meaning. George Eliot's powerful novel is set in a Britain whose ruling class is decadent and materialistic, its power likely to be threatened by a politically emergent Germany. The novel's exploration of sexuality, guilt, and the will to power anticipates later developments in fiction, and its linking of the personal and the political in a context of social and economic crisis gives it especial relevance to the dominant issues of the twenty-first century.

'Our deeds carry their terrible consequences...consequences that are hardly ever confined to ourselves.'Pretty Hetty Sorrel is loved by the village carpenter Adam Bede, but her head is turned by the attentions of the fickle young squire, Arthur Donnithorne. His dalliance with the dairymaid has unforeseen consequences that affect the lives of many in their small rural community. First published in 1859, Adam Bede carried its readers back sixty years to the lush countryside of Eliot's native Warwickshire, and a time of impending change for England and the wider world. Eliot's powerful portrayal of the interaction of ordinary people brought a new social realism to the novel, in which humour and tragedy co-exist, and fellow-feeling is the mainstay of human relationships. Faith, in the figure of Methodist preacher Dinah Morris, offers redemption to all who are willing to embrace it.This new edition is based on the definitive Clarendon edition and Eliot's corrected text of 1861.

`She had believed that my wild poet's passion for her would make me her slave; and that, being her slave, I should execute her will in all things.'The Lifted Veil was first published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1859. A dark fantasy woven from contemporary scientific interest in the physiology of the brain, mesmerism, phrenology and experiments in revification it is Eliot's anatomy of her own moral philsophy - the ideal of imaginative sympathy or the ability to see into others' minds and emotions. Narrated by an egoccentric, morbid young clairvoyant man whose fascination for Bertha Grant lies partly in her obliquity, the story also explores fiction's ability to offer insight into the self, as well as being a remarkable portrait of a misdeveloped artist whose visionary powers merely blight his life. The Lifted Veil is now one of the most widely read and critically discussed of Eliot's works. Published as a companion piece to The Lifted Veil, Brother Jacob is by contrast Eliot's literary homage to Thackeray, a satirical modern fable that draws telling parallels between eating and reading. Yet both stories reveal Eliot's deep engagement with the question of whether there are 'necessary truths' independent of our perception of them and the boundaries of art and the self. Helen Small's introduction casts new light on works which fully deserve to be read alongside Eliot's novels.

The works collected in this volume provide an illuminating introduction to George Eliot's incisive views on religion, art and science, and the nature and purpose of fiction. Essays such as 'Evangelical Teaching' show her rejecting her earlier religious beliefs, while 'Woman in France' questions conventional ideas about female virtues and marriage, and 'Notes on Form in Art' sets out theories of idealism and realism that she developed further in Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. It also includes selections from Eliot's translations of works by Strauss and Feuerbach that challenged many ideas about Christianity; excerpts from her poems; and reviews of writers such as Wollstonecraft, Goethe and Browning. Wonderfully rich in imagery and observations, these pieces reveal the intellectual development of this most challenging and rewarding of writers.

As Daniel Deronda opens, Gwendolen Harleth is poised at the roulette-table, prepared to throw away her family fortune. She is observed by Daniel Deronda, a young man groomed in the finest tradition of the English upper-classes. And while Gwendolen loses everything and becomes trapped in an oppressive marriage, Deronda's fortunes take a different turn. After a dramatic encounter with the young Jewish woman Mirah, he becomes involved in a search for her lost family and finds himself drawn into ever-deeper sympathies with Jewish aspirations and identity. 'I meant everything in the book to be related to everything else', wrote George Eliot of her last and most ambitious novel, and in weaving her plot strands together she created a bold and richly textured picture of British society and the Jewish experience within it.

When the young nobleman Harold Transome returns to England from the colonies with a self-made fortune, he scandalizes the town of Treby Magna with his decision to stand for Parliament as a Radical. But after the idealistic Felix Holt also returns to the town, the difference between Harold's opportunistic values and Holt's profound beliefs becomes apparent. Forthright, brusque and driven by a firm desire to educate the working-class, Felix is at first viewed with suspicion by many, including the elegant but vain Esther Lyon, the daughter of the local clergyman. As she discovers, however, his blunt words conceal both passion and deep integrity. Soon the romantic and over-refined Esther finds herself overwhelmed by a heart-wrenching decision: whether to choose the wealthy Transome as a husband, or the impoverished but honest Felix Holt.

One of George Eliot's most ambitious and imaginative novels, Romola is set in Renaissance Florence during the turbulent years following the expulsion of the powerful Medici family during which the zealous religious reformer Savonarola rose to control the city. At its heart is Romola, the devoted daughter of a blind scholar, married to the clever but ultimately treacherous Tito whose duplicity in both love and politics threatens to destroy everything she values, and she must break away to find her own path in life. Described by Eliot as 'written with my best blood', the story of Romola's intellectual and spiritual awakening is a compelling portrayal of a Utopian heroine, played out against a turbulent historical backdrop.

George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) made her fictional debut when SCENES OF CLERICAL LIFE appeared in 'Blackwood's Magazine' in 1857. These stories contain Eliot's earliest studies of what became enduring themes in her great novels: the impact of religious controversy and social change in provincial life, and the power of love to transform the lives of individual men and women. 'Adam Bede' was soon to appear and bring George Eliot fame and fortune. In the meantime the SCENES won acclaim from a discerning readership including Charles Dickens: ' I hope you will excuse my writing to you to express my admiration...The exquisite truth and delicacy, both of the humour and the pathos of those stories, I have never seen the like of.'

Carpenter Adam Bede is in love with the beautiful Hetty Sorrel, but unknown to him, he has a rival, in the local squire’s son Arthur Donnithorne. Hetty is soon attracted by Arthur’s seductive charm and they begin to meet in secret. The relationship is to have tragic consequences that reach far beyond the couple themselves, touching not just Adam Bede, but many others, not least, pious Methodist Preacher Dinah Morris. A tale of seduction, betrayal, love and deception, the plot of Adam Bede has the quality of an English folk song. Within the setting of Hayslope, a small, rural community, Eliot brilliantly creates a sense of earthy reality, making the landscape itself as vital a presence in the novel as that of her characters themselves.
