Published in 1866, Eliot’s novel focuses on politics and romance in the small English town of Treby Magna. A wealthy young nobleman, Harold Transome, stands for Parliament as a “Radical.” Felix Holt, idealistic but poor, opposes him. Their political race mirrors the love triangle that includes the beautiful but vain Esther Lyon, who finds herself drawn to the impoverished Holt despite herself.
Über den Autor
George Eliot (1819-1880), born Mary Ann Evans, was a pioneering woman novelist in the Victorian era. She wrote under a male pen name in order to be taken seriously as an author and maintain a private life. Known for her penetrating psychological insights, her first success was Adam Bede; her classic Middlemarch.
