It consists of three novellas based on the lives of country clergymen and their communities. These characters interest Eliot not for their theology - she had abandoned conventional Christian belief - but for their humanity. In these stories, we find the earliest signs of the narrative voice, the humanism, and the realism that would make George Eliot one of the greatest novelists of the 1800s. (Introduction by Bruce Pirie)
