1879. Eliot is the pen name for Mary Ann, later Marian Evans, English novelist. This is Eliot's last published work and it takes the form of a set of essays, or impressions, by a fictional narrator whose name, contrary to the title's suggestion, is not Theophrastus Such: Theophrastus was a student of Aristotle. It reveals her wisdom on matters ranging from plagiarism and self-deception to moral blindness, national consciousness and antipathies. Character studies and philosophical reflections offer the reader a veiled glimpse of Eliot's perception of her own character, as well as those of her friends.
