George Eliot is the pseudonym of Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880). Her most famous novel, Middlemarch, was published serially in 1871.

A first-rate novel--The Times

From Adam Bede to Daniel Deronda, she questioned her times. She plumbed ideas, politics, religion, race, and above all the vagaries of the heart--Guardian

A disconcerting mixture of High Victorian and snappily contemporary. The sentences tend to be massive, slow-moving but deadly accurate: the characters' motivations are dissected, the moral puzzles presented with great clarity--Independent

The whole country life that the story is set in, is so real, and so droll and genuine, and yet so selected and polished by art, that I cannot praise it enough to you--Charles Dickens
