1859 horror novella by George Eliot
The Lifted Veil is a novella by George Eliot, first published anonymously in Blackwood's Magazine in 1859. [1][2] It was republished in 1879.[2] Quite unlike the realistic fiction for which Eliot is best known, The Lifted Veil explores themes of extrasensory perception, possible life after death, and the power of fate. [3][4][5] The story is a significant part of the Victorian tradition of horror fiction, which includes such other examples as Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897).[6][7]
