It was published pseudonymously, even though Evans was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time. The novel has remained in print ever since, and is used in university studies of 19th century English literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNovel written by George Eliot, published in three volumes in 1859. The title character, a carpenter, is in love with a woman who bears a child by another man. Although Bede tries to help her, he eventually loses her but finds happiness with Dinah Morris, a Methodist preacher. Adam Bede was Eliot's first long novel. Its masterly realism--evident, for example, in the recording of Derbyshire dialect--brought to English fiction the same truthful observation of minute detail that John Ruskin was commending in the Pre-Raphaelites. But what was new in this work of English fiction was the combination of deep human sympathy and rigorous moral judgment. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature","brand":"Classic Century Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145998549232,"sku":"2940014085359","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014085359_p0.jpg?v=1763600451","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014085359","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
