Autorenporträt
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Born on November 22, 1819, in Warwickshire, her decision to adopt a male pseudonym was driven by a desire to have her work taken seriously in a male-dominated literary environment and to escape the stereotype of women's writing being limited to lighthearted romances. Eliot is celebrated for her rich character development and sophisticated depictions of rural society. Her writing is marked by its realism, psychological insight, and moral seriousness. Eliot's notable works include 'Middlemarch', 'Silas Marner', 'The Mill on the Floss', and 'Adam Bede'. The collection 'The Essays of "George Eliot"', reaffirms her intellect and her ability to critique art and society with depth and nuance. Eliot's work has been widely studied and appreciated for contributing to narrative art and exploring the complexities of human motivations and relationships (Haight, 1968). She passed away on December 22, 1880, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and engage readers and scholars alike.
