About this title

About the Author:

GEORGE ELIOT was born in Nuneaton on November 22, 1819. Baptized Mary Anne Evans, Eliot chose to write using a male pen name. She was sent away to school but returned when her mother died in 1836. She later moved to Coventry with her father. After her father's death she became the Assistant Editor of the "Westminster Review" in 1851. She also met George Henry Lewes this year and they became partners for the rest of his life. Lewes was already married, although he and his wife both considered their relationship to be an open one, but he and Eliot set up home together, much to the dismay of polite London society.
In 1857 Eliot published "Amos Barton" in "Blackwood's Magazine "and in 1859 her novel "Adam Bede" was published to great acclaim. Her first attempt to write "Middlemarch," her most famous novel, ended in failure. Abandoning it, she began a short novella entitled "Miss Brooke" which was eventually integrated into the final version of "Middlemarch." The novel was published serially in eight parts in 1871. Lewes died in 1878 and Eliot married again in 1880. Her husband, John Walter Cross was an American who was twenty years her junior. George Eliot died on December 22, 1880 at 4 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea and is buried in Highgate Cemetery next to Lewes.

Review:

"Daniel Deronda... is written with an understanding of egoism that no one except Proust has ever matched, and a calm assurance of style that sends a shiver of terrified sympathy down my spine." --Laurence Lerner, "Independent "

"The foremost woman novelist of her day." --"Evening Standard "
