Adam Bede

Adam Bede, published in 1859, is the debut novel of George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. Set in the fictional village of Hayslope in 1799, it explores the lives of four characters entangled in a love triangle: Hetty Sorrel, Captain Arthur Donnithorne, Adam Bede, and Dinah Morris. The novel is notable for its realistic portrayal of rural life and its exploration of moral and social issues, making it a significant work in 19th-century English literature.
