Theophrastus Such is a thinker: his specialist field, the minds and modes of his fellow men. Shrewdly observant, his thoughts are not unreasoned criticisms, but the reflections of a fallible mortal, aware of the foibles and vices that he, too, possesses in abundance.

This amusing collection of character sketches introduces Theophrastus's myriad friends and acquaintances: among them Merman, the naive, obstinate intellectual who is ill-used by rival scholars; Lentulus, who reaps the benefits of meditative silence mistaken for profundity; and Mixtus, whose marriage so dilutes his character he no longer knows who he is.

From plagiarism and self-deception to moral blindness, national consciousness and antipathies, here is wit and wisdom to contemplate.

This is the only edition available, with introduction, notes and chronology of George Eliot's life and times.
