The texts are sourced from Gutenberg, mostly, but I have scanned and corrected 9 additional essays and a bunch of missing poems.
The formatting, italics, and diacritics have been checked and corrected by comparing the texts with the paper editions. Quotes are curly, footnotes are active, and fonts are embedded. Each of the contained books comes with an individual cover.
The collection is sorted chronologically by book (or magazine) publication. There are the usual inline tables of contents and links after each text/chapter to get back to the respective tables. The dates of first publication are noted whenever available.
I couldn’t find a reliable bibliography for George Eliot, and none of the print editions of her Complete Works that can be found online are really complete. Some essays or poems that are attributed to her at times are discarded by other editors. So, while I’m quite confident now about the poetry section being complete, I might (have to) revise the selection of essays.
Best regards,
