Autor

Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She was born on November 22, 1819, in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and her literary career began after moving to London, where she worked as an editor for the Westminster Review. Adopting the male pseudonym 'George Eliot,' she achieved greater recognition, a commonplace decision at the time for women seeking to be taken seriously in the male-dominated literary world. Eliot's novels, noted for their realism and psychological insight, include 'Adam Bede' (1859), 'The Mill on the Floss' (1860), 'Silas Marner' (1861), 'Romola' (1863), 'Felix Holt, the Radical' (1866), 'Middlemarch' (1871-72), and 'Daniel Deronda' (1876), all of which are compiled in 'The Complete Novels of George Eliot.' Her writing is characterized by its exploration of human psychology, moral philosophy, and the condition of everyday life. Eliot was not merely a writer but a meticulous mapper of the human condition, whose novels grapple with deep social and moral questions still relevant today. Eliot passed away on December 22, 1880, but her prolific work continues to be studied, revered and enjoyed for its powerful narrative and richly detailed portrayals of Victorian society.
