About this book


Adam Bede works as a carpenter in a Warwickshire village. The year is 1799. He moves among tenant farmers, laborers, and the family at the hall. A young Methodist woman arrives to preach in the fields and lanes. The story follows the round of work, meals, and church meetings that hold the parish together. Eliot records the speech and habits of these people without hurry or ornament. The novel shows how their choices connect one household to the next.
