George Eliot Collected editions

George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) (1819 – 1880) was an English novelist, essayist, and translator whose works combine moral seriousness with keen psychological insight. Her novels — including Middlemarch, Silas Marner, The Mill on the Floss, and Daniel Deronda — explore the complexities of character, society, and moral choice.

Writing under a male pen name to ensure her work was taken seriously, Eliot became one of the foremost intellectual voices of her time. Her fiction is marked by realism, compassion, and a deep understanding of human motivation.

George Eliot’s legacy lies in her ability to portray the intricate web of relationships that define both individual lives and communities.
