The True Story of George Eliot in Relation to 



" Adam Bede." By WILLIAM MOTTRAM. Illustrated. Large 

 Crown 8vo, cloth 



In " Adam Bede " George Eliot drew her principal characters from her nearest relatives: 

 " Adam Bede" was her father; " Dinah Morris" her aunt, the forgotten story of whose 

 strange noble life written by herself is largely quoted from in the present book ; " Bartle 

 Massey " her schoolmaster; " Mrs. Poyser " her mother, " Seth Bede" her uncle, and 

 " Hetty Sorrel " an unhappy girl in whose tragic fate George Eliot was deeply interested. 

 The scenes of the story are those among which she spent the earliest and most im- 

 pressionable years of her life. The true story of all these characters, and of how the 

 romance she wove round them grew up in the mind of the great novelist is here for the 

 first time set forth by a man who, as a first cousin of hers, is peculiarly fitted to tell us the 

 real facts of her life.
