It's a power he acquired at a young age following a brief illness. Latimer loathes his ability, as it has made it nearly impossible for him to make genuine connections.

3 masterpieces from one of the Victorian era's most brilliant and celebrated feminist novelists--George Eliot, ne Mary Ann Evans. Middlemarch, her most well-known work, paints a rich and varied portrait of English society. Eliot focuses especially on the idealistic Dorothea Brooke, a woman who, lacking a creative outlet of her own, dedicates herself to her husband's legacy.

Then his wealth is stolen from him-and a young foundling comes into his life and changes everything. Also included: the short story Amos Barton, which heralded Eliot's arrival as a writer when it was published in Blackwood's magazine in 1857.

The works collected in this volume provide an illuminating introduction to George Eliot's incisive views on religion, art and science, and the nature and purpose of fiction. Essays such as 'Evangelical Teaching' show her rejecting her earlier religious beliefs, while 'Woman in France' questions conventional ideas about female virtues and marriage, and 'Notes on Form in Art' sets out theories of idealism and realism that she developed further in Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. It also includes selections from Eliot's translations of works by Strauss and Feuerbach that challenged many ideas about Christianity; excerpts from her poems; and reviews of writers such as Wollstonecraft, Goethe and Browning. Wonderfully rich in imagery and observations, these pieces reveal the intellectual development of this most challenging and rewarding of writers.
