George Eliot
Mary Ann Evans (22 November 1819 β 22 December 1880; alternatively Mary Anne or Marian), known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: ''Adam Bede'' (1859), ''The Mill on the Floss'' (1860), ''Silas Marner'' (1861), ''Romola'' (1862β63), ''Felix Holt, the Radical'' (1866), ''Middlemarch'' (1871β72) and '' Daniel Deronda'' (1876).
