The reigning monarch of Great Britain in the setting of Adam Bede is King George III. In line with her belief in literary realism, George Eliot researched that period intensively to ensure that she gave as close a representation of the historical context and reality of the setting as possible. The duration of events in the novel spanned eight years in two separate centuries from 1799 to 1807. Adam Bede, published in the year 1859 was set in England in the year 1799 which is sixty years before its publication.
