George Eliot
George Eliot (1819-1880). George Eliot was the penname for Mary Ann Evans, born in Warwickshire. Like many female writers, she preferred to use a male penname. Some women felt they would be taken seriously as an author if their gender were not known. Mary Evans was educated at home. After her father’s death, she edited for the Westminster Review. Her first novel was Adam Bede. Her works include:
- Silas Marner
- The Mill on the Floss
- Middlemarch
- Romola
- Daniel Deronda
