The Real Life of Mary Ann Evans: George Eliot, Her Letters and Fiction (Reading Women Writing S) - Softcover
Synopsis
Bodenheimer defines the personal paradoxes that helped to shape Eliot's fictional characters and narrative style. Bodenheimer revisits pivotal episodes in Mary Ann Evans's life and career, including the "Holy War" through which she asserted her youthful religious skepticism; her decision to elope with the married writer George Henry Lewes; and her marriage with John Cross after Lewes's death. Bodenheimer also discusses the rumor campaign that led to the discovery that "George Eliot" was a woman, and she traces the trajectory of Eliot's impassioned conflict between her ambition and her womanhood.

From the Back Cover
Mary Ann Evans, a learned schoolgirl who cherished little hope of growing up to become anyone at all, was at sixteen already writing the complex, 'masterful' sentences that her life of difficult feeling, ravenous reading, and evangelical piety stimulated in her.
