The Helm Information; George Eliot Critical Assessments, edited by Stuart Hutchinson, 4 Volume box set, 1996

A substantial scholarly reference set devoted to the life, writings, and critical reception of George Eliot, bringing together a wide-ranging selection of biographical material, contemporary reviews, and later academic criticism. Forming part of Helm Information's respected Critical Assessments of Writers in English series, this four-volume collection traces Eliot's reputation from nineteenth-century responses through to modern critical interpretation, while also offering focused essays on her individual works. A weighty and increasingly uncommon research set, particularly desirable in such well-preserved condition complete with the original publisher's slipcase.

A fine set of hardback volumes which appear to be in unread condition. Still housed in the original publisher's slipcase, complete with the card separators between volumes. A handsome set.
