One of the most famous novelists in the English literary canon, the likes of Middlemarch and Silas Marner are household names, but Eliots essays are often overlooked. This collection brings together some of her most important essays and seeks to celebrate her nonfiction writing.In Silly Novels by Lady Novelists Eliot states a desire some few years before her bestknown works to turn her hand to novelwriting, and decries the trivial nature of contemporary writers, setting out a manifesto for good writing. In Woman in France she considers the history of womens writing, and the complications women face in order to write something Eliot knew much about herself, adopting a male name to publish the work she did not publish anonymously. Taken together, this collection gives a rare and valuable insight into the authors writing, and shines a light on her pioneering subtle form of feminism.
