George Eliot

1819-1880

Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an one of the leading English writers of the Victorian era. She is remembered primarily for Middlemarch, praised by Virginia Woolf as “one of the few English novels written for grown-up people”. Her first works of fiction were a series of three short stories, all starring hapless provincial vicars, which were serialized in magazines and published together as Scenes of Clerical Life.
