George Bernard Shaw has been called the second greatest playwright in English (after William Shakespeare) and one of the inventors of modern celebrity as the most famous public intellectual of his time. Beginning in the 1880s, as a critic and as a playwright, he transformed British drama, bringing to it intellectual substance, ethical imperatives, and modernity itself, setting the theatrical course for the subsequent century. That his legacy endures 70 years after his death is testament to the prescience of his thinking and his prolific creativity. 

The Mill on the Floss, first published in 1860, tells the story of Maggie Tulliver and her brother Tom as they grow from children to young adults in the small rural town of St. Ogg's, England.

Though she loves her brother above anyone else, Tom's rigid, pragmatic personality often conflicts with Maggie's headstrong nature, with increasingly tragic consequences.

"Lenz" von Georg Büchner ist ein ergreifendes literarisches Psychogramm. Im Mittelpunkt der Erzählung steht der Schriftsteller Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz, der sich Anfang 1778 für zwanzig Tage bei dem Pfarrer Johann Friedrich Oberlin aufhielt. So nüchtern dieser Handlungsrahmen, so intensiv und emotionsgeladen das Erzählte selbst: Denn Büchner erzählt nichts weniger als das tragische Schicksal eines an Schizophrenie leidenden Mannes, der mehr und mehr von seiner Krankheit beherrscht wird und schließlich an ihr zerbricht.

Adam Bede (1859), George Eliot's first full-length novel, marked the emergence of an artist to rank with Scott and Dickens. Set in the English Midlands of farmers and village craftsmen at the turn of the 18th century, the book relates a story of seduction issuing in 'the inward suffering which is the worst form of Nemesis'. But it is also a rich and pioneering record - drawing on intimate knowledge and affectionate memory - of a rural world that we have lost.

Gwendolen Harleth gambles her happiness when she marries a sadistic aristocrat for his money. Beautiful, neurotic, and self-centered, Gwendolen is trapped in an increasingly destructive relationship, and only her chance encounter with the idealistic Deronda seems to offer the hope of a brighter future.

Der Sold ist so gering, dass er versuchen muss, sich auf jede nur erdenkliche Art Geld zu verdienen.
