Scenes of Clerical Life, by George Eliot
This is a wonderful collection of stories. I just finished "Mr. Gilfil's Love Story" and was deeply touched by the lovely sentences and the smoothly described emotions of the story. If it had been a longer story, in novel form, it might be considered one of her finest writings. I especially loved Eliot's use of dialect when the various characters, especially the simple country folk, are speaking.
