I needed to become accustomed to 19th Century writing in the beginning of the first novella but once I did, all three of them flowed. The stories were both heartbreaking and extremely "modern" classic tales of life in the English countryside; they are stories we're all familiar with, even today. If I'd had to read them when I was in high school, I'm sure I wouldn't have liked them; I certainly wouldn't have 'gotten them'.However, as an adult "of a certain age", they resonate with what life is for so many of us. Ups and downs, people and personalities we've known, tragic events, all of the disappointments we experience...they're all here and remind me that there's really nothing new under the sun. George Elliot wrote her novels with compassion and a voice that still speaks to us today.
I realize that great Victorian novels are to some degree an acquired taste. To lovers of the genre, George Eliot stands out as perhaps its finest writer. Scenes of Clerical Life does not disappoint in this regard. The book is actually three books in one, each following a different character in their spiritual growth and worldly trials. Amos Barton, Maynard Gilfil, and Janet Dempster are indelible characters who endure believable tragedies. I found the story of Janet Dempster particularly inspiring. Janet is a battered wife who becomes an alcoholic to dull the pain of her life. Through a long and detailed personal and spiritual struggle, she learns forgiveness and not incidentally overcomes her alcoholism.I highly recommend Scenes of Clerical Life.
I am a passionate George Eliot fan. I really enjoy Victorian era literature, and George Eliot is one of my favourite Victorian writers, so much so that I did my thesis for my Honours degree on three of her novels - Mill on the Floss, Daniel Deronda and Middlemarch. I found Scenes of Clerical Life to be quite different to these novels - a set of three nouvellas loosely linked rather than the complex plots of her big novels. I enjoyed the strong sense Eliot conveyed of some of the pettiness and power struggles that dominate a small village, and the many ways curates are used as pawns by various villagers. I remember being told by one of my lectures at University that one of the characteristics of Victorian Literature is that it focuses on the individual and his/her role within society, whereas modern literature tends to be solipsistic and driven by the individual desires of the central character. That is certainly the case with this book. I particularly enjoyed the first story where Eliot's marvellous descriptive powers painted a strong, clear picture of the setting and village life. It made me realise how challenging life is for clergy who are not wealthy and have the right connections.Those not used to Victorian writing may find the pace a bit slow and some of the physical descriptions long-winded, but once you get used to that style and persevere, the rewards are considerable. George Eliot uses metaphor and imagery so effectively. A delightful little gem.
I found Scenes from a Clerical Life a sad tale well told. It helped that had some background on Eliot's religious experience which explains her attitude towards Amos Barton. My copy of Scenes also contained Mr. Gilfil's Love Story, and Janet's Repentance. I thought both Gilfil and Janet were more enjoyable stories with a somewhat lighter tone. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in literature of this era.
I really liked the first two stories: Amos Barton & Mr. Gilfil's Love Story. The 3rd, Janet's Repentance, gets long-winded and moralistic in the second half of the story. I couldn't wait for it to end. I've read that these 3 stories are the earliest fiction George Eliot published. A good start and of course her later novels are splendid.
Read this for the language. The plots suffer from the sentimentality found in so many great 19C novels. Eliot draws you into pastoral English life and observes the scenes there with images that cannot be found in weaker fiction of the kind. There is a delightful description of vicar Barton by his fire with pipe and gin, enjoying the contrasting wet and dry. Her language here holds you, stops the reader and forces him to sigh. These stories are full of wonderful insights and descriptions, and these are what hold the reader. Of course, it should be understood that Eliot will not be read by anyone much amused by pop/tv culture. If only we could be entertained by tv we wouldn't have to put effort into our rewards.
So easy to enjoy stories by a wonderful writer as George Eliot. Not my usual genre, but so well done, so beautifully capturing a time in the past and emotions of "everyman," that I didn't want to stop reading.
