In the novel Felix Holt, the Radical, George Eliot (the pseudonym of Mary Anne Evans) turns her attention to political affairs. However, although the Reform movement of the early 1800s is an important plot point in the novel, the tale focuses more on the intersection between politics and society, and the myriad ways in which changes in the law can and do affect family and intimate relationships.

Felix Holt is an endearing but opinionated Radical, who returns to Treby Magna just as the wealthy landowner, Harold Transome, announces his bid for election. It marks the beginning of a tumultuous time as unethical players seek to undermine the voting process. Treby Magna is a small English community that’s home to Felix Holt and Harold Transome. Both men have returned after stints abroad with Harold eager to elevate his status in the political realm. He seeks election to a county seat as a Radical, which surprises the residents. The election process becomes a point of contention as Felix considers some of Harold’s methods unethical. Despite his pure motivations, Felix is roped into the election day chaos, leading to an unexpected outcome. George Eliot’s works often explore morality as well as political and personal ethics. In Felix Holt, The Radical these issues are evident with characters attempting to navigate the political landscape. Felix and Harold have different values but are connected to the same cause. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Felix Holt, The Radical is both modern and readable.

Excerpt from Felix Holt the Radical, Vol. 2 At eleven the arrival of listeners seemed to have ceased. Mr. Lyon was seated on the school tribune or dais at his particular round table; another round table, with a chair, awaited the Curate, with whose superior position it was quite in keeping that he should not be first on the ground. A couple of extra chairs were placed farther back, and more than one important personage had been requested to act as chairman; but no Church man would place himself in a position so equivocal as to dignity of aspect, and so unequivocal as to the obliga tion of sitting out the discussion; and the Rector had beforehand put a veto on any Dissenting chairman. Mr. Lyon sat patiently absorbed in his thoughts, with his notes in minute handwriting lying before him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
