Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. The author's last two published novels bound together, very good in a binding with maroon leather spine and corners over boards with a sort of marbling. The book's spine is worn, and the external rear gutter has about a 3" split in the leather. The front endpaper is detached and laid i…n, and has a stamp for Simon & Barnum Bookbinders in Utica, NY at the bottom. The next page is the title page for Middlemarch, with an 1873 date at the bottom. Middlemarch is 288 pages all in double column format. After the last page of Middlemarch is the title page for Daniel Derobnda, which appears to be the first US edition with an 1876 date at the bottom and on the copyright page. Daniel Deronda is 274 pages also in double column format. The spine of the book just has the two titles in gilt, with six gilt bands. The book is tight, although worn at corners and edges.

Despite this fact, Cross' work is considered to be the standard, having compiled the work from Eliot's correspondence, and with the cooperation of her friends, family and others, such as Charles Dickens. In good condition. A very rare complete first edition set. From Adam Bede to The Mill on the Floss and Silas Marner, Eliot presented the cases of social outsiders and small-town persecution. Felix Holt, the Radical and The Legend of Jubal were overtly political, and political crisis is at the heart of Middlemarch, in which she presents the stories of a number of denizens of a small English town on the eve of the Reform Bill of 1832; the novel is notable for its deep psychological insight and sophisticated character portraits. The roots of her realist philosophy can be found in her review of John Ruskin's Modern Painters in Westminster Review in 1856. Readers in the Victorian era particularly praised her books for their depictions of rural society, for which she drew on her own early experiences, and she shared with Wordsworth the belief that there was much interest and importance in the mundane details of ordinary country lives. Eliot did not, however, confine herself to her bucolic roots. Romola, an historical novel set in late 15th century Florence and touching on the lives of several real persons such as the priest Girolamo Savonarola, displays her wider reading and interests. Middlemarch, has been described as the greatest novel in the English language by Martin Amis and by Julian Barne.
