George Eliot: The Collection At Nuneaton Library
The George Eliot Collection At Nuneaton Library
Nuneaton Library holds one of the prime collections on George Eliot in Britain.
It was started in the early days of the town’s first public library around 1900 and has been built up over the years. Nuneaton people take great pride in their local author, and the library collected early editions of her works, and books about her from all over the world.
The collection has grown to contain over 2000 books, including the novels, poetry, essays, biographies and literary criticism, photographs and pamphlets, all available for reference in the library. We also have popular titles available for loan.
Visitors are able to consult facsimiles of 60 letters - correspondence between the author, her family and friends – which have been given to the collection over the years.
The George Eliot Fellowship have also donated their collection of scrapbooks, which contain newspaper cuttings and articles about the author, and their work in promoting her.
