Published as part of George Eliot’s fictional debut, Amos Barton is an honest and expressive work, displaying the same warm irony and keen observations that distinguish so many of her later novels. Foreword by Matthew Sweet. Parson Amos Barton is responsible not only for the spiritual welfare of his flock, but also for his extensive family.

Victorian novelist George Eliot (1819–1880) is the author of a number of remarkable works, including Middlemarch, her masterpiece.
