作者简介

George Eliot (1819–1880), born Mary Ann Evans, was an English novelist, poet, and journalist. She adopted a male pen name to overcome the prejudice that women writers of her time were limited to romance novels. Her major works, including Middlemarch, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner, are renowned for their profound insight into human psychology and social contexts. Eliot's novels reflect the moral and philosophical concerns of the Victorian era, intricately exploring the complexities of human nature and social relationships. She is celebrated for her vivid characters and meticulously crafted narratives, which evoke deep empathy from readers. Beyond her literary success, Eliot was an intellectual and independent woman who had a significant impact on her society. Her works continue to resonate in modern literature for their timeless themes and masterful prose. Eliot passed away in 1880 and remains a pivotal figure in English literary history.
