Relationship to Other Books

Other works by Eliot include Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Romola (1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–72), and Daniel Deronda (1876).

The latter half of the nineteenth century in British literature was the time of the Victorian novel. For further reading of this type, consider Oliver Twist or Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, Far from the Maddening Crowd by Thomas Hardy, or works by the Bronte sisters (who also took masculine pen names) such as Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre.

Literary realism can also be seen in works such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain and Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert.
