George Eliot is the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, an English novelist, poet, journalist, and translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England on November 22, 1819, Evans was a contemporary of Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Alfred Tennyson, and the Brontë sisters. Like Dickens and Hardy, she grew up in provincial England, which became the setting for most of her seven novels. She chose a male pen name becasuse she felt it would be a challenge to be published as a woman during the era in which she lived. (As did the Brontë sisters, whose true identity wasn't revealed until after the death of the two eldest sisters.)
Considered to be "not pretty," and gifted with an extreme intellegence -- twin elements that led her father to believe she did not have good prospects for marriage -Evans was instead afforded a high level of education, resulting in a depth of psychological insight in her novels, as well as a heavy influence of Greek literature. In 1994, literary critic Harold Bloom placed her among the most important Western writers of all time, and in a 2007 authors' poll by Time Magazine, her novel Middlemarch was voted the tenth greatest literary work ever written. Various film and television adaptations of her books have reintroduced her to the wider reading public.
