The Impressions of Theophrastus Such
by George Eliot
With wide format pages to give generous margins for notes, the editor presents the latest George Eliot scholarship in an introduction, and also includes notes, text summary, selected criticism and chronology of George Eliot's life and times. This book contains 18 essays (1879) by George Eliot (1819-80) which are mostly character studies loosely based on the mode of Theophrastus, the Greek philosopher, head of the Peripatetic School after Aristotle. The author writes in the character of the batchelor son of a Tory Midlands country parson and reflects on various contemporary types, such as the carping and arrogant Lentulus and the ever-youthful though ageing Ganymede.
