George Eliot was the pen name of Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880), one of the most important English novelists of the Victorian era. Her novels are known for their psychological depth, moral seriousness, and detailed portrayals of English provincial life. Middlemarch, often called the greatest novel in the English language, is a sweeping study of a small town and the ambitions, marriages, and disappointments of its inhabitants.
Eliot’s other major works include Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, and Daniel Deronda. She wrote with unusual intelligence about ordinary people, and her fiction grapples with questions of duty, sympathy, and the consequences of moral choices. Her work has remained in print continuously since the nineteenth century and continues to attract new readers.
