 | Adam Bede by Carol A. Martin, Caroline Harvey, Flo Gibson, Frank R. Leavis, George Eliot
Published in 1859 and inspired by an anecdote told by George Eliot's aunt, ADAM BEDE is notable for its highly developed characters and convincing depiction of rural life in England. It is the story of Hetty Sorrel, who spurns the working-class Adam for the faithless lord of the manor, by whom she becomes pregnant. Hetty sets out on her own, disgraced, and her child dies of neglect. She is imprisoned for the child's murder, and Adam is devastated by the revelations of Hetty's plight and by her actions. Gradually, however, he falls in love with the virtuous Dinah Morris, the Methodist preacher who brings Hetty to repentance before she is executed. AUTHOR: Carol A. Martin, Caroline Harvey, Flo Gibson, Frank R. Leavis, George Eliot
