"Scenes of Clerical Life" by George Eliot is a collection of three short stories published in 1858. Eliot's first published fiction introduces readers to the lives of Anglican clergymen in the fictional English Midlands town of Milby.

Each story centers on a different clergyman navigating faith and community in changing times.
