Published in 1859, Adam Bede was Eliot's first novel. This remarkably accomplished debut established Eliot as a writer of the first rank. In rural Hayslope, Adam Bede, a local carpenter, falls in love with the beautiful but vain Hetty Sorrell, who is herself in love with a caddish young squire who seduces her and casts her aside.
