Jan 26, 2015 · My Review: The strength of this book lies in the sympathetic, well-rounded and moving characters which Eliot portrays in a 19th Century bucolic setting. The centerpiece of the book, of course, is Adam Bede himself, a simple but hard-working carpenter who strives to be good at his craft and a dutiful son and brother.
Followed by. The Mill on the Floss. Adam Bede was the first novel by English author George Eliot, first published in 1859. It was published pseudonymously, even though Evans was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time. The novel has remained in print ever since and is regularly used in university studies of 19th-century ...

May 28, 2016 · In particular I failed to notice how Eliot in this book – just as in Middlemarch – considers the idea of vocation and how individuals can achieve a sense of fulfilment through work. A commitment to working hard is one of the chief differences between the ‘good’ characters in Adam Bede and those whose behaviour we are lead to despise ...
