Publisher Comments

This volume makes available for the first time the entire surviving journals and diaries of the great Victorian novelist, George Eliot, and constitutes a new text by her--the closest she came to autobiography. The journals span her life from 1854, when she entered into a common-law union with George Henry Lewes, to her death in 1880, revealing the professional writer George Eliot as well as the remarkable private woman, Marian Evans. The edition includes a chronology, introduction, headnotes to each diary, and an annotated index supplying valuable contextual and explanatory information.

Review

"This volume forms a valuable addition to Eliot scholarship. Margaret Harris and Judith Johnston have produced a definitive work for future generations of Eliot enthusiasts and scholars." Times Literary Supplement"[A] subtle and imtimate pleasure. Unshrouded by prejudices and the various agendas of biographers, these abridged texts provide fascinating direct to the author." The Independent"Heartily recommended for all undergraduate and graduate libraries that support Victorian literature and include Eliot's fiction." Choice"This well-edited collection of the extant George Eliot journals makes a welcome addition to the published biographicl materials which chart the inner and outer topographies of the George Eliot-George Henry Lewes landscape." Victorian Studies
