George Eliot 1819-1880 George Eliot, the nom de plume of the great English novelist, Mary Ann or Maria Evans. The youngest daughter of the second family of Robert Evans, a Warwickshire land-agent, she was born at Arbury Farm, near Nuneaton 22 nd November 1819. Four months after, her father removed to the farm of Griff, and here she spent the first twenty-one years of her life. Evans was a man of strongly-marked and strenuous character, many of the leading traits of which were transferred by his daughter to Adam Bede and Caleb Garth. Of the life at Griff, many of the features are given in the sketch of Maggies Tulliver’s and Tom’s childhood in The Mill on the Floss, especially her relation to her brother Isaac. Between five and nine she was at school at Attleboro, then at Nuneaton, and between thirteen and sixteen at Coventry, where she became a fervent evangelical. She lost her mother, whom she loved devotedly, in 1836, and in 1837 her elder sister married; from this time she took entire charge of her father’s house. Masters came over from Coventry to teach her German, Italian and music - of the last she was passionately fond throughout her life. She was also an immense reader. In 1841 her brother Isaac married and took Griff, and her father removed to Coventry. Here she became acquainted with Charles Bray, a writer, who with his brother-in-law Charles Hennell had published in 1838 a rationalistic Inquiry Concerning the Origin of Christianity.
