Mary Ann Evans (22 November 1819 - 22 December 1880; alternatively "Mary Anne" or "Marian"), known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She is the author of seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871-72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of them set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight.
She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women only writing lighthearted romances. She also wished to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. An additional factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes, with whom she lived for over 20 years.
Her 1872 work Middlemarch has been described by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Just be aware that there is actually a very large general index in the printed version that was meant to be used for serious study of the canon of literature.
Afficionados of this set (which essentially contains no 20th century work) should also check out Encylopedia Britannica's "Great Books of the Western World," from which the 102 Great Ideas (later 103, to include Equality) were derived. Both of these sets are well described by Wikipedia.
** I must say I am encouraged that there are over 2000 reviews for this collection. I didn't think there were that many people left in the world who cared about such wisdom from the ages. It is incredibly eye opening to realize that so much of what passes for "new" (in human nature, government, politics) was described hundreds or thousands of years ago. While Harvard Classics was published in 1909, the GBWW was published in a second edition in 1990, thus reflecting some important developments in psychology, the sciences, and feminisim. Thank you to whoever made this collection possible.
Perhaps most importantly, this digital version is eminently useful. Every volume has a link in the table of contents. That link brings you to a table of contents for that volume, which contains links for the individual works in the volume. Those links then bring you to a table of contents for the individual works of the volume, complete with links for each section therein. Perhaps equally importantly, every table of contents has a link that returns you to mother table of contents from which you came- making navigating to specific works and then back much easier than many other digital collections allow, in a way that does not require one to use the "Go To" feature of the Kindle.
If you are interested in having access to nearly all of the essential classics of "western" civilization for a ridiculously cheap price and with a surprising ease of navigation, I recommend this collection without reservation.
CONS: Being so large I have yet to see an illustration, but I did buy for the reading this time not just for the pretty pictures. The other CON is that due to the size of the collection even KINDLE has it limits, I found myself bounced out of the collection from trying to jump around to fast. Best to wait a second or two longer before jumping to another place in the book.
I'm sorry this review has only scratched the surface, but the keys to remember is that this HUGE COLLECTION is EASY TO NAVIGATE and offered at a very THRIFTY PRICE. Don't even think about it get it now for LESS THAN COST of a BIG MAC.
It is overwhelming, yet I love it just the same. The perfect addition to my KINDLE Library.
Yes I'd buy these again and recommend to a friend.
If you have any questions leave them below and I'll do my best to answer or find you someone that can. Thank you.
