... Scenes of clerical life

George Eliot's fiction work contains three stories of the lives of clergymen, with the aim of disclosing the value hidden in the commonplace. "The Sad Fortunes of the Rev. Amos Barton" portrays a character who is hard to like and easy to ridicule. "Mr. Gilfil's Love Story," brings forth conflicting value systems revolving around a young woman, Caterina, and two men. "Janet's Repentance" is an account of conversion from sinfulness to righteousness achieved through the selfless endeavors of a clergyman.

  • "A fantastic collection of three stories by the author known as George Eliot, her first published work. The stories are set in the late-18th/early-20th century in and around the fictional town of Milby in the English Midlands."@en
  • "Overview: 'Many men write well and tell a story well, but few possess the art of giving individuality to their characters so happily and easily as you ... '. "Thus wrote the publisher John Blackwood in February 1857 to a shy and ambitious new author, whom he had not yet met, George Eliot. Shielded by this pseudonym, Mary Ann Evans made her fictional debut when Scenes of Clerical Life appeared in Blackwood's Magazine the same year. These stories contain Eliot's earliest studies of what became enduring themes in her great novels: the impact of religious controversy and social change in provincial life, and the power of love to transform the lives of individual men and women."
  • "Scenes of clerical lifes -- When Scenes of Clerical Life--Eliot's first work of fiction--first appeared in print anonymously in 1857, critics immediately hailed it for its humorous irony, the truthfulness of its presentation of the lives of ordinary men and women, and its compassionate acceptance of human weakness. The three stories that comprise the volume foreshadow Eliot's greatest work, and an acquaintance with them is essential to a full understanding of one of the greatest English novelists. --- Silas Marner -- This 19th-century classic is a tale of betrayal, gold, and love, encased in the elegant symmetrical structure so popular in traditional English fiction, featuring Marner, the weaver, who is framed for theft by his best friend and becomes a recluse, focusing his strong affections only on the store of golden coins he receives in payment for his work."
  • "Three short novels each notable for characterization, humour and vivid description."@en
  • "C'est en 1858 que paraissent les scènes de la vie du clergé, acte de naissance de la plus grande romancière anglaise du XIXe siècle. Bien plus que les figures de pasteurs présentées par ces trois récits, compte la peinture attendrie et comique, mais aussi cruelle, d'une société provinciale aux prises avec les bouleversements, dans la vie quotidienne et les mentalités, apportés à l'Angleterre par les suites de la révolution industrielle."
  • "Scenes of Clerical Life is the collection of the first three stories published by George Eliot, originally in Blackwood's Magazine. They all take place in the fictional midlands town of Milby and are concerned with the affect of religious reform on clergymen and their congregations."@en

In these tales Mr. Gilfil's Love Story," The Sad Fortunes of Reverend Amos Barton," and Janet's Repentance" Eliot explores such themes as religious strife, the realistic portrayal of social issues, and the power of love to alter lives themes that would reemerge in many of her major works."
