Scenes From the "George Eliot" Country

Title

Scenes From the "George Eliot" Country

Description

  • "It is the supreme distinction of Warwickshire that it has given to the world both Shakespeare and "George Eliot." Less than thirty miles, as the crow flies, from Stratford-on-Avon, where the "poet of all time" first saw the light, near the town of Nuneaton, was born Mary Ann Evans, who stands out from the number of gifted women almost as distinct a personality as is Shakespeare among his brother poets."
