A Critical Study on Life and Works of George Eliot

 
Kelly Griffin (Editor)
Synopsis During a time when writing was a strictly male occupation, Mary Ann Evans chose the pseudonym “George Eliot” in order to publish herself. She worked as a sub-editor for the Westminister Review in London; thus, it was easy for her to slide her work in to be published. In 1858, she published “Scenes of Clerical Life”, her first book of stories under her pseudonym. It was until after imposters were trying to claim authorship of her first novel, Adam Bede, that it was revealed that she was actually George Eliot. At this point she was the center of a large literary circle, so it seems as if the announcement did not have much affect on her, although she still continued to publish under her male pretense. The writer most famous for Middlemarch certainly knew how to make a statement. In fact, through her work as a writer and through her lifestyle, she made enough statements to make any pious, chauvinist English man in the Victorian age sick. She lived the kind of life that most women would not fathom and probably frowned upon at that point in time. From her stories to her lovers, George Eliot has made a lasting impression on the English literary tradition and has paved the way for modern artists. The book, apart from personal glimpses of her life carries valuable analyses of her Literature.
