The seemingly peaceful country village of Hayslope is the setting for this ambitious first novel by one of the nineteenth century’s great novelists. With sympathy, wit, and unflinching realism, Adam Bede tells a story that would have been familiar to Eliot’s first readers: the seduction of a pretty farm girl by the young squire of the district. Eliot uses this story, with its tragic implications, to explore the dangers of reliance on religious and social norms to govern destructive desires. As this edition demonstrates, Adam Bede addresses profound questions of morality, religion, and the role of women in society, while at the same time seeking to establish a new aesthetic for fiction. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a rich selection of appendices, including selections from Eliot’s letters and journals, contemporary reviews of the novel, and accounts of the murder trial of Mary Voce, the woman whose story formed part of the inspiration for the novel.

George Eliot's first novel, Adam Bede, was first published in 1859. George Eliot is the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, a respected and well-published scholar of the time who, nevertheless, chose to publish her novels under the pseudonym. The novel has remained in print ever since its original publication and is regularly used in university studies of nineteenth-century English literature.The novel is set in the village of Hayslope towards the end of the eighteenth century. In the village lives a young carpenter by the name of Adam Bede. He is described as being tall and muscular and is respected by everyone for his honesty and solid work ethic.Adam is such a good worker that his employer, Jonathan Burge, has been encouraging him to get together with his daughter, Mary Burge. He would be proud to welcome Adam into his family as his son-in-law as well as his business partner. However, Adam only has eyes for the beautiful Hetty Sorel. Hetty is the niece of Mrs. Poyser, whose husband, Martin, runs Hall Farm. Hetty takes no notice of Adam, as she is interested only in the squire, Captain Arthur Donnithorne, whom she met one day at her aunt's dairy, and who happens to be Adam's best friend. Everyone in Hayslope is opposed to the idea of a union between Adam and Hetty, especially his mother Lisbeth, who feels threatened by any girl who might steal her son away from her. She becomes even more dependent on her favorite son after her husband drowns while on his way home from the village inn.Adam's brother, Seth, is in love with a young Methodist preacher named Dinah Morris. Dinah is Hetty's cousin, but the two could not be more different, not unlike Seth and his brother. When Seth proposes marriage to her, she declines, stating that she has devoted her life to preaching the gospel.Donnithorne celebrates his twenty-first birthday with a great feast and invites Adam to sit at his table. This incites pride in Adam's mother as well as jealousy, for she fears her son his moving further out of her reach. Several weeks later, Adam is heading home after finishing work on the Donnithorne estate and he passes Donnithorne and Hetty in a close embrace. Donnithorne is embarrassed and tries to explain how they met in the street by chance. Feeling betrayed by his best friend, Adam calls him a liar and a scoundrel. The conflict escalates until it comes to blows, and Donnithorne is knocked to the ground. Adam helps him up, demanding that he write a letter to Hetty telling her that he will not see her again.Donnithorne places the letter to Hetty in Adam's care, giving him the responsibility of delivering it. Adam gives the letter to Hetty the following Sunday and upon reading it, she is overcome with despair. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Burge offers Adam a partnership in his business, and Adam proposes to Hetty. The wedding must be delayed until two new rooms can be built onto the Bede house.As the wedding approaches, Hetty grows frantic with the knowledge that, although she is engaged to Adam, she is pregnant with Donnithorne's child. She tells her aunt that she is going to visit Dinah at Snowfield, but really, she is determined to find Donnithorne. She arrives in Windsor, where she has been told that he is stationed, but soon finds out that the regiment has been moved to Ireland. In complete despair, Hetty ends up in a strange village in the house of a widow named Sarah Stone, where she gives birth. Confused and frightened, Hetty wanders on, leaving her baby to die in the woods. Later, tortured by her conscience, she returns to find the child gone.When Donnithorne returns to Hayslope, he finds that Hetty is in prison, having been charged with the murder of her child. He dedicates himself to freeing her in whatever way he can. Dinah arrives at her prison cell and prays with Hetty to open up her heart and tell the truth.....

George Elliot was the penname for the English novelist, poet and journalist, Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880). Although Evans was known for her work as an essayist, editor and critic, she chose to use the male pseudonym to allow for her fictional writing to be appreciated separately and taken seriously. Published in 1859, ‘Adam Bede’ is her first novel, and earned her critical acclaim. It revolves around the romantic lives of four characters in a rural community in the late 18th century. Featuring a new, specially written concise biography, this classic work is being republished in a high quality and affordable edition.

Adam Bede was the first novel by Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot) and was 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 English literature. She described the novel as, "A country story full of the breath of cows and scent of hay". Plot summary According to The Oxford Companion to English Literature (1967), "The plot is founded on a story told to George Eliot by her aunt Elizabeth Evans, a Methodist preacher, and the original of Dinah Morris of the novel, of a confession of child-murder, made to her by a girl in prison." The novel follows the lives of four characters in the fictional community of Hayslope--a rural, pastoral, and close-knit community--in 1799. The novel revolves around a love "rectangle" among the beautiful but self-absorbed Hetty Sorrel; Captain Arthur Donnithorne, the young squire who seduces her; Adam Bede, her unacknowledged suitor; and Dinah Morris, Hetty's cousin, a fervent, virtuous and beautiful Methodist lay preacher. Adam, a local carpenter much admired for his integrity and intelligence, is in love with Hetty. She is attracted to Arthur, the local squire's charming grandson, and heir, and falls in love with him. When Adam interrupts a tryst between them, Adam and Arthur fight. Arthur agrees to give up Hetty and leaves Hayslope to return to his militia. After he leaves, Hetty Sorrel agrees to marry Adam but shortly before their marriage, discovers that she is pregnant. In desperation, she leaves in search of Arthur but cannot find him. Unwilling to return to the village on account of the shame and ostracism she would have to endure, she delivers her baby with the assistance of a friendly woman she encounters. She subsequently abandons the infant in a field but not being able to bear the child's cries, she tries to retrieve the infant. However, she is too late, the infant having already died of exposure. Hetty is caught and tried for child murder. She is found guilty and sentenced to hang. Dinah enters the prison and pledges to stay with Hetty until the end. Her compassion brings about Hetty's contrite confession. When Arthur Donnithorne, on leave from the militia for his grandfather's funeral, hears of her impending execution, he races to the court and has the sentence commuted to transportation. Ultimately, Adam and Dinah, who gradually become aware of their mutual love, marry and live peacefully with his family.
