		But, even after she had become famous, her life with him long remained isolated, except for the admirers of her genius whom he brought to their house.
		It would be surprising if, especially in her earlier works, a tinge of melancholy, which generally tended to take the nobler form of renunciation, were not perceptible; but the personal trials of her life never, as the whole series of those works shows, even momentarily overthrew the balance of her moral judgment.
		And this is of the greater importance as applied to her writing, inasmuch as she never ceased to regard it as the most responsible among the activities of her existence.

		Before Scenes of Clerical Life had reached a speedier close than the authoress had, at first, intended, and before the book, as a whole, had come into the hands of the great novelists by whose side she was soon to take her place, George Eliot had begun her new story, Adam Bede.
		The germ of this novel, the reading of which, Dickens said, “made an epoch in his life,” and which, like the firstfruits of some other authors of genius, is, by many of the lovers of George Eliot, held unsurpassed in original power by any of its successors, was a story of terrible simplicity.
		Among all the groupings invented by her, the Poyser family has remained unsurpassed as a popular favourite, and such scenes as the walk of the family to church, or their appearance at the young squire’s birthday feast, are pure gems.

		It is not perfection that makes Tryan a true hero any more than, as we are reminded in a fine passage, it made Luther or Bunyan; nor is it in what he achieved, but in the spirit in which he sought to achieve, that lies the value of his endeavour.
		The atonement of Janet, an erring woman as he had been an erring man, but whom his influence saves from herself, is told with the same power of sympathy; and, while Tryan dies with her love in sight, there remains for her a life which has become a solemn service.
		The humanity of both these stories, and of the last in particular, as exhibiting the blessed influence of one human soul (not one set of ideas, for “ideas are poor ghosts”) upon another—this is what came home to the readers of George Eliot’s first book as already something more than promise.

		Scenes of Clerical Life comprises three short stories set in and around the fictional Midlands village of Milby, one or two generations prior to the 1856 date of publication.
		The second form of religious innovation, that of the High Anglican revival, is distinguished as the attempt by the ecclesiastical hierarchy to increase its own status and to restore a sense of reverence in local congregations.
		The clerical order makes a conscious effort to separate itself from the worldly interests of their parishioners and to preserve their dignity through strict adherence to prescribed ritual purity and the detailed exposition and defense of Anglican doctrine.

		It was her second book, Adam Bede, which secured George Eliot’s reputation as an author; but in this, her first work, she had already demonstrated her remarkable gifts for writing and produced a form of fiction that ran counter to the debates regarding religion in her day.
		Eliot had parted ways with Christian faith over a decade before writing Scenes of Clerical Life in 1857, becoming one of many Victorian era “Honest Doubters.” Yet her mature views, never simple ones, shine through in this work.
		Under the surface orthodoxy of the Scenes are signs of her search for a “religion of Humanity,” and her desire for conciliation with whatever was best in Christianity.

	Amazon.com: The Lifted Veil: Brother Jacob (Oxford World's Classics): Books: George Eliot,Helen Small (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A dark fantasy drawing on contemporary scientific interest in the physiology of the brain, mesmerism, phrenology, and experiments in revification, it is Eliot's anatomy of her own moral philsophy.
		The text has always been seen as valuable as a rare instance of Eliot in effect denying or questioning the humanist principles of her most characteristic work and her interest in progressive science - its narrative is hermetic, anti-humanistic, circular: conflating time to an eternal, hellish present.
		The volume is worth reading for Sally Shuttleworth's exhaustive introduction, which discusses the stories in the context of Eliot's life and work (both are seen as negative allegories for writing and the writer), British Imperialism, laissez-faire economics, gender, the growth of science and progressive philosophy as the new religion etc.

	The Wit and Wisdom of George Eliot
		There is no hopelessness so sad as that of early youth, when the soul is made up of wants and has no long memories, no superadded life in the life of others, though we who look on think lightly of such premature despair as if our vision of the future lightened the blind sufferer's present.
		All that brief experience of a quiet home which had once seemed a dulness to be fled from, now came back to [Gwendolen] as a restful escape, a station where she found the breath of morning and the unreproaching voice of birds.
		There is a way of looking at our life daily as an escape, and taking the quiet return of morn and evening - still more the starlike out-glowing of some pure fellow-feeling, some generous impulse breaking our inward darkness - as a salvation that reconciles us to hardship.

		The writings of George Eliot show an interesting transition from nonfiction to fiction, and Scenes of Clerical Life is the bridge to understanding Eliot's past and future writings.
		It was in the calm and softened light of an autumnal afternoon, and he was not alone.
		But I am sure you have no doubt that Mr Richard Barton is a thoroughly good fellow, as well as a man of talent, and you will be glad any day to shake hands with him, for his own sake as well as his mother's.
