(Oxfotd World's Classics)
Latimer, the narrator of 'The Lifted Veil', possesses powers of seeing into the future, and into the minds of others. To an artist these would be great gifts, but to him they are only a curse. Afflicted by his burden of knowledge, he marries the cold-hearted coquette Bertha, the only person whose mind remains closed to him. In this strange and chilling tale, George Eliot gives full rein to her curiosity about mesmerism, clairvoyance and scientific experimentation.
Published as a companion piece to The Lifted Veil, Brother Jacob is by contrast Eliot's literary homage to Thackeray, a satirical modern fable that draws telling parallels between eating and reading. With an illuminating introduction by Helen Small, this Oxford World's Classics edition makes newly available two fascinating short stories which fully deserve to be read alongside Eliot's novels.
