With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts University of Kent at Canterbury ’Examine your words well, and you will find that even when you have no motive to be false, it is a very hard thing to say the exact truth, even about your immediate feelings...’ Adam Bede (1859), George Eliot’s first full-length novel, marked the emergence of an artist to rank with Scott and Dickens.
