Sinopse

The "Complete Works" of George Eliot presents an extraordinary compilation of the writings of one of the most influential authors of the Victorian era. This comprehensive volume encompasses her major novels, essays, and poetry, demonstrating her mastery of psychological insight and social commentary. Eliot's literary style is characterized by a deep understanding of human nature, richly drawn characters, and a narrative voice that invites readers into the complexities of everyday life. The works explore themes of morality, spirituality, and societal constraints, reflecting the broader intellectual currents of 19th-century thought, such as realism and the emerging ideas of feminism and social reform. George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans, overcame the constraints of her time to emerge as a leading literary figure, defying societal expectations of women. Her personal experiences, including her unconventional relationships and intellectual pursuits, deeply influenced her writing. Eliot's commitment to exploring the intricacies of human emotion and moral dilemmas are evident throughout her works, making her a pivotal figure in the transition of literature towards modernism. This collection is essential for readers seeking to understand the evolution of narrative fiction and its social implications. Eliot's acute observations and profound philosophical inquiries make the "Complete Works" a timeless resource, appealing to scholars and casual readers alike.

    “These poems are so generous, so bright and sharp, so funny and winning, they feel immense.” —Paul Guest“Erika Meitner is the new voice of intelligent and emotional poems. Good for poetry. Good for poetry lovers. Good for the rest of us, too.”— Nikki Giovanni Exploring themes of pregnancy, motherhood, ancestry, and life in the borderline slums of Washington, DC, the richly felt and adroit poetry of Erika Meitner’s Ideal Cities moves, mesmerizes, and delights. The work of an important emerging voice in contemporary American poetry—a winner of the 2009 National Poetry Series Prize as selected by Paul Guest—Ideal Cities gloriously perpetuates NPS’s long-standing tradition of promoting exceptional poetry from lesser-known poets.

    "The Fir-Tree" is a literary fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). The tale is about a fir tree so anxious to grow up, so anxious for greater things, that he cannot appreciate living in the moment. The tale was first published 21 December 1844 with "The Snow Queen", in Copenhagen, Denmark, by C.A. Reitzel. One scholar (Andersen biographer Jackie Wullschlager) indicates that "The Fir-Tree" was the first of Andersen's fairy tales to express a deep pessimism.

    Middlemarch (Book 6: The Widow and the Wife), A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. Initial reviews were mixed, but it is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels.
