description: The very existence of George Eliot's poetry came as a surprise to many of her readers yet this collection of nearly 500 pages of sonnets ballads narrative poems and verse dramas reveal her to be one of the major women poets of the 19th century. Her work evokes the wonders of a rural childhood engages the issues of nationalism and racial prejudice and faces ultimate questions about meaning and ultimate value. A stunning collection by a deeply important writer.
