George Eliot.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
GEORGE ELIOT,The British Novelist Of 19th-Cent. Victorian Era,Was Born On November 22, 1819 In Warwickshire,ENGLAND.
GEORGE ELIOT Was The Pen Name Of Mary Anne Evans,Who Chose This Rather Male Name Just To Avoid Being Typecast Into 'The Stereotype Of Female Authors Of Light Romances' !
Women In Those Days Used To Pen Romantic Tales And Were Mocked By Critics Who Were Primarily Males!GEORGE ELIOT Herself Had Made Fun Of Such Female Novelists Of Romances While Reviewing For The 'Westminster Review' - a noted magazine during 50s of the 19th-cent. !
George Eliot wrote 7 novels and a good deal of poems.She had also translated a few notable books written in other languages.
Basically, George Eliot's Fame Rests Upon Four Novels : 1. 'MIDDLEMARCH' 2. 'MILL ON THE FLOSS' 3. 'ADAM BEDE' 4. 'SILAS MARNER' !
These Novels Were Quite Popular During George Eliot's Lifetime,Although, They Had Acquired The Status Of Great Classics In The Early 20th-Cent. -Thanks To A Renewed Interest Caused By The Famous Modern Novelist, VIRGINIA WOOLF's Book On George Eliot !
Contemporary Novelists Like MARTIN AMIS and JULIAN BARNES,Have Gone To The Extent Of Describing, 'MIDDLEMARCH' of George Eliot, As THE GREATEST NOVEL WRITTEN IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE !!
George Eliot's Novels Are Marked With Realism And Psychological Probings Of Human Life And Relationship.There Is Also A Good Deal Of Discourse, We Find In Her Works, Touching Upon The Belief System or Faith Of People .
She Had A Fine Grasp Over Characterization And Her Novels Could Well Be Seen As The Precursor Of Modern Novel Writings Full Of Psychological Analysis !
George Eliot Had A Scandalous Personal Life For She Was In A 'LIVE-IN' Relationship With An English Philosopher,George Lewes, Who Was A Married Man.George Eliot Lived With Mr. Lewes For 20yrs Untill His Death In 1878.Mr. Lewes Had Not Divorced His Legal Wife.All These Had Made Some Negative Impressions During An Age Of So Called VICTORIAN MORALITY!
After Mr. Lewes' Death, George Eliot Married A Certain Artist Twenty Years Her Junior!THAT WAS HER LEGAL FIRST MARRIAGE!Sadly,she died within two years In 1880 at the age of 61 .
The Popularity of Her Novels Had Saved Her Otherwise Personal Life's Scandals And She Was Accepted Rather Quick !
Yesterday Was Her Birthday.
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GREAT VICTORIAN FEMALE NOVELIST,GEORGE ELIOT !
