Best known for his brief marriage to George Eliot, John Cross (1840-1924) compiled this three-volume ''autobiography'' of 1885 from his late wife''s journals and letters. Eliot was never married to her long-term partner G. H. Lewes, and she courted further scandal when she married Cross, twenty years her junior, in 1880.

George Eliot''s Life will be of particular interest to scholars of nineteenth-century biography and literature. Volume 1 covers Eliot''s life from 1819 to 1857, beginning with a brief sketch of her childhood and continuing with her move to Coventry, then to London, and travels to Geneva. Less
