Product Description

"Drawing on old maps, contemporary drawings and paintings, portraits and other archive material, the excellent Famous Authors series not only presents a factual outline of the writers’ lives, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to their writing. Recommended for all ages." —THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE

George Eliot was a pen name for Mary Ann Evans. She was the daughter of a man of strong Evangelical Protestant feeling who in her early twenties severed herself from her father’s religion and became acquainted with a new theology in Germany. There she translated D.F. Strauss’ Leben Jew (Life of Jesus, 1846). She lived with George Henry Lewes who could not obtain a divorce from his wife, and entered into an irregular union with him that was recognized among friends as a marriage. Her work, which is considered wholly Victorian in moral and social attitude includes Silas Marner, Romola, and Middlemarch.
