Short Fiction Eliot, George: Brother Jacob. v1 14 May 2018

[AlexBell]

Mary Ann (or Marian) Evans (1819-1880) was an editor, translator, and novelist who wrote under the name of George Eliot for all but one of her books.

The Brother Jacob short story was published in 1864. It shows the author at her most sardonic, and has an upleasant confectioner as the main character.

The text was taken from ebooks@adelaide.com, and checked against the the 1902 William Blackwood and Sons edition from the Internet Archive. I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced italics and diacritics, and made changes to spelling, punctuation, and hyphenation using oxforddictionaries.com.
