George Eliot 
Essays and Leaves from a Notebook (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

This 1884 volume republishes articles that first appeared in magazines prior to Eliot’s fame as a novelist.  Eliot herself selected and edited the articles prior to her death.  Included as well are a number of ‘notes’ written by Eliot for later expansion in her novels or simply to develop an idea for its own sake.  Of these latter, ‘Judgments on Authors, ‘ ‘Story-telling, ‘ and ‘Value of Originality’ are of exceptional interest.
