With over 200 fully annotated selections, this volume provides a fresh, vivid portrait of a great Victorian novelist in the words of some 150 persons who knew, met or saw her - family members, close friends (and their children), chance acquaintances, childhood schoolmates, dinner companions, famous contemporaries, university men and women, gallery and concert-hall onlookers, and curious Americans. The entries range in length from a few sentences to a few pages, in tone from gushing adoration to biting condemnation, and in origin from manuscript letters and diaries to published works. Complementing well known recollections are dozens of 'new' ones not found in George Eliot's biographies. Altogether they afford an unmatched view of a controversial genius whose irregular domestic life - twenty-five years' cohabitation with a man she could not marry - led to so fiercely guarded a privacy that meeting her seemed an event of mythic proportions.
