Erstausgabe
First edition in book form of George Eliot's first published work of fiction, collecting three short stories previously serialized in Blackwood's Magazine from January to November 1857. Sadleir, writing in 1951, remarks that the book "in any state is now rare", and ranks it as the scarcest of Eliot's novels to find in the original cloth. These tales, centering around three provincial clergymen, focus less on theological issues than on the ethical problems they face in their daily lives, foreshadowing many of the themes addressed in Eliot's later masterpiece Middlemarch (1871-2). The stories, "with their deft contextualizing and strong dialogue, indicated the arrival of a fresh new talent among Victorian writers of fiction" (ODNB). Eliot began to write the first story in September 1856 and, two months later, G. H. Lewes submitted a manuscript to Blackwood noting it was the work of an "unnamed friend". The publisher accepted the work and, at the beginning of February 1857, the author identified herself as "George Eliot" but also acknowledged this was "a non de plume". The first book edition was published on 5 January 1858. Provenance: ownership inscriptions "J. Power Pemb: Coll:" on front free endpapers. This was likely John Power (1819-1880), a tutor at Pembroke College, Cambridge, between 1852 and 1870, and later appointed master. He was twice vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge. Sadleir noted that Scenes of Clerical Life "had a success with a small intelligent public". Baker & Ross A3.2 (1,050 copies); Parrish, p. 7, Sadleir, XIX Century Fiction, 818, Wolff 2062. 2 volumes, octavo. Original claret morocco-grain cloth by Edmonds & Remnants, spine lettered in gilt and decorated in blind, foliate decoration on covers in blind, cinnamon-colour endpapers, binder's label on rear pastedown (Baker & Ross's "D" binding). Housed in a custom cloth solander box. Old bookseller's receipt loosely inserted. Spines just lightly sunned, extremities rubbed, corners bumped, hinges cracked but holding, occasional light mark to margins, otherwise generally clean. A very good, fresh copy.

First edition. Two volumes, bound in original publisher's maroon-brown cloth, titled in gilt to the spine and decorated in blind. A little wear to the cloth at the head of volume I, but an exceptionally clean bright set with tight hinges and bright gilt to the spines. Housed in a custom made full morocco clamshell case. The author's first book, collecting her first works of fiction. At 38 George Eliot was a latecomer to the world of fiction and was particularly self-conscious about publishing creative and original writing. It took considerable encouragement from her partner, G. H. Lewes, to get her stories written and published. It was he who arranged for John Blackwood to publish her first tentative efforts at literary work, Scenes of Clerical Life, claiming it to be the work of a 'friend' called George Eliot. The three stories first appeared in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine throughout 1857 and were published in book form in January 1858. The popularity of the book caused much speculation as to the author's identity. The work prompted no less a literary figure than Charles Dickens to write to Blackwood regarding the book, "Will you, by such roundabout ways and methods as may present themselves, convey this note of thanks to the author of Scenes of Clerical Life: whose two first stories I can never get enough of. I think them so truly admirable. But if those two volumes, or a part of them, were not written by a woman - then I should begin to believe that I am a woman myself." The author's rarest book and very rare in the original cloth, particularly in such nice condition. Sadleir 818.

Erstausgabe
First edition of George Eliot's first published work of fiction, three related stories of love and loss in an English village: "The Sad Fortunes of the Rev. Amos Barton," "Mr. Gilfil's Love-Story," and "Janet's Repentance." The stories first appeared anonymously in Blackwood's Magazine in 1857, and were published together the following year as the work of "George Eliot," the first use of that pen name by Mary Ann Evans. Upon the book's appearance, Charles Dickens wrote Blackwood to congratulate the unknown author and to predict, correctly, that George Eliot would eventually be revealed as a woman. These early stories sound the depths of feeling experienced by everyday people, foreshadowing Eliot's major achievement in Middlemarch: "At least eighty out of a hundred of your adult male fellow-Britons returned in the last census are neither extraordinarily silly, nor extraordinarily wicked, nor extraordinarily wise; their eyes are neither deep and liquid with sentiment, nor sparkling with suppressed witticisms; they have probably had no hairbreadth escapes or thrilling adventures; their brains are certainly not pregnant with genius, and their passions have not manifested themselves at all after the fashion of a volcano. . . . Yet these commonplace people -- many of them -- bear a conscience." This first edition was issued in a run of 1,050 copies. Baker & Ross A3.2B. A bright, near-fine copy in the original cloth, much nicer than usually found. Two octavo volumes, measuring 8 x 5 inches: [6], 7-366; [6], 381, [1]. Original claret morocco-grain cloth elaborately stamped in blind, spines lettered in gilt, cinnamon endpapers. Neat initials "M.S.D." to half-titles, penciled bookseller notes to verso of front free endpaper in Volume I. Spine ends and corners very lightly rubbed, small abrasion to rear pastedown of Volume I from label removal. Housed in a custom clamshell box.

Erstausgabe
First editions, complete as issued. A handsomely bound library set comprising all of Eliot's novels, two short stories, one poetry collection, one volume of her posthumously collected essays, and the three-volume biography by her husband J. W. Cross. One of the major novelists of the 19th century and a leading practitioner of fictional realism, George Eliot (1819-1880) was "the most extensively anthologized novelist among her contemporaries. Her writing evinces a strong belief in progress, which for her meant the gradual improvement of the world through difficult, often imperceptible human effort, sometimes characterised as meliorism. Her biographer Kathryn Hughes calls her the 'last Victorian' because she thought it possible to face the crises of her time without 'shattering in shards'" (Orlando). From 1868 through 1879, bookbinder Samuel Tout (1841-1902) operated in Nassau Street in Soho, London. He then worked in a bindery in Whitechapel with William Coward, continuing on his own after 1880. Tout was also a member of the early staff of Karslake's Hampstead Bindery, which opened in Charing Cross in 1898.

Mill on the Floss bound without half-titles, vol. IV of Middlemarch bound without fly-title, vol. III of Daniel Deronda bound without errata and vol. IV without advertisement leaf. Occasional light rubbing to extremities, a few corners gently bumped, a little loss of leather to headcaps of four vols., contents mildly toned, internally clean. A very good set indeed, well-margined and bright.

Scattered light foxing and soiling. Marginal paper-flaw to leaf H6 (pp. 123/124) of volume 1 (not affecting text). An excellent set of this rather scarce title. Scenes of Clerical Lifeis the title under whichGeorge Eliot'sfirst published fictional work, a collection of three short stories"The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton," "Mr Gilfil's Love-Story," and "Janet's Repentance,"was released in book form; it was the first of her works to be released under her famous pseudonym. The stories were first published inBlackwood's Magazineover the course of the year 1857, initiallyanonymously, before being released as a two-volume set by Blackwood and Sons in January 1858.The three stories are set during the last twenty years of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century over a fifty year period andtake place in and around the fictional town of Milby in theEnglish Midlands.Each of theScenesconcerns a different Anglican clergyman, but is not necessarily centered upon him.Eliot examines, among other things, the effects of religious reform and the tension between theEstablishedand theDissentingChurches on the clergymen and their congregations, and draws attention to various social issues, such as poverty,alcoholism,anddomestic violence. "These at once attracted praise for their domestic realism, pathos, and humour, and speculation about the identity of â George Eliot', who was widely supposed to be a clergyman or possibly a clergyman's wife" (The Oxford Companion to English Literature).

FIRST EDITION, GEORGE ELIOT'S (Mary Anne Evans) FIRST PUBLISHED FICTION AND THE FIRST WORK PUBLISHED UNDER THE GEORGE ELIOT PSEUDONYM. A collection of three short stories. Her partner, G. H. Lewes, in order to help her get her stories written and published, arranged for John Blackwood to publish these first tentative efforts claiming them to be written by a 'friend' named George Eliot. The stories first appeared in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine throughout 1857 and were then first published in book form, as here, in January of 1858. In this complete form it was met with 'just and discerning applause', and considerable speculation as to the identity of its author. Charles Dickens, wrote to the unknown author by care of William Blackwood saying, "I have been so strongly affected by the two first tales in the book you have had the kindness to send me, through Messrs. Blackwood, that I hope you will excuse my writing to you to express my admiration of their extraordinary merit. The exquisite truth and delicacy both of the humour and the pathos of these stories, I have never seen the like of; and they have impressed me in a manner that I should find it very difficult to describe to you. if I had the impertinence to try. In addressing these few words of thankfulness to the creator of the Sad Fortunes of the Rev. Amos Barton, and the sad love-story of Mr. Gilfil, I am (I presume) bound to adopt the name that it pleases that excellent writer to assume. I can suggest no better one: but I should have been strongly disposed, if I had been left to my own devices, to address the said writer as a woman. I have observed what seemed to me such womanly touches in those moving fictions, that the assurance on the title-page is insufficient to satisfy me even now. If they originated with no woman, I believe that no man ever before had the art of making himself mentally so like a woman since the world began." This makes him among the first to suggest the author may have actually been a woman.
