<p>Includes MIDDLEMARCH (1881) - the quintessential Victorian novel, a concept of life and society free from the dogma of the past yet able to confront the skepticism that was taking over the age. In a panoramic sweep of English life during the years leading up to the First Reform Bill of 1832, Eliot explores nearly every subject of concern to modern life: art, religion, science, politics, self, society, and human relationships; SILAS MARNER (1861) - Eliot's own favourite novel centres on Silas Marner, the linen weaver of Raveloe, a village on the brink of industrialization. Once he was a respected member of a narrow congregation, but the events that took place during one of his cataleptic foots led to the loss of everything that he valued; her short story THE LIFTED VEIL (1859) - a dark fantasy drawing on contemporary scientific interest in the physiology of the brain, mesmerism, phrenology, and experiments in revivification; and BROTHER JACOB (1859) - Eliot's literary homage to Thackeray, a satirical modern fable that draws telling parallels between eating and reading.</p>
