“Harvest Time,” 1858–1859
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Still writing under her incognito, George Eliot took on the larger canvas of the novel with Adam Bede, a work that embodied Marian’s troubled hope that suffering could yield to joy, just as she had found sustained joy with Lewes. Adam Bede gave her ground to wrestle with human suffering in a world she saw as ordered by natural law alone, without the guarantee of providential reward and punishment to give suffering its value. Scriptural seed time and harvest raised ethical problems that the Calvinist Mary Ann Evans had not found troubling: George Eliot, by contrast, reached for a model of simultaneous, eternal, and universal joy and suffering. Joy would never displace suffering, not even for the most faithful Christian, because it defined human existence. Mature joy could now be refigured as love that held sorrow at its heart. Adam Bede may have challenged orthodoxies in its questions, yet it pulled toward religious resolutions.
