George Eliot A WOMAN IN ADVANCE OF HER TIME A Short Pen Picture by Kathleen Adams A farmhouse tucked away within the park at Arbury Hall near Nuneaton was the birthplace of Mary Ann Evans in 1819. Her father Robert Evans was agent to the Newdegate family at Arbury and when Mary Ann was four months old the family moved to Griff House on the edge of the estate. Here Mary Ann had a very happy childhood with her pretty sister Chrissey and her beloved brother Isaac. She and Chrissey went to boarding school in Nuneaton until Mary Ann was moved, at the age of 13, to a boarding school in Coventry at 29 Warwick Row. She did very well at the Coventry school and remained there until she was 16. At this point her mother died and Mary Ann was with the family at Griff at this sad time. She and Chrissey ran the house between them although it is clear that Robert Evans relied upon his youngest daughter in many things, particularly when Chrissey married and went to live at Meriden. Mary Ann had been a bright scholar at all of her schools and was now having lessons from teachers who went out to Griff from Coventry and Leamington. Robert Evans retired to Coventry in 1841, taking Mary Ann with him and leaving Isaac at Griff to take over his father's job at Arbury. A new life was beginning for Mary Ann at their new home at Foleshill and she was making new and influential friends, including the Coventry ribbon manufacturer, Charles Bray and his wife Caroline who lived at 'Rosehill' on Radford Road. In their home Mary Ann met men of letters the like of whom she would never have met in Nuneaton, and in a stimulating intellectual circle she blossomed, writing articles for Bray's Coventry Herald newspaper. The previously devout Mary Ann had already had religious doubts and in this new circle she realised her faith had gone. She refused to attend Holy Trinity Church with her father, causing great distress within her family, only resolved because of the pain she was causing her father. She went back to church with him but reserved the right to think her own thoughts during the service!

(Letter to the Hon. Mrs H. F. Ponsonby, 10 December 1874) We do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. ( Middlemarch bk. 2, ch. 20)

Letters of John Wesley and the Wesley Family: 300 letters and related manuscript items written by John Wesley and 12 other members of the Wesley family The Methodist Center at Drew University houses the largest collection of letters written by John Wesley and the Wesley family outside of England. Accompanied by a number of Wesley- and Methodist-related manuscript items, these nearly 300 letters attest to the high priority that the university has placed, from its earliest days, on the development of an outstanding theological library. In addition to the letters that the university has bought, a number have been acquired as gifts, notably those from the Wesleyana collection of Frederick E. Maser. The letters are divided into two collections: those from John Wesley, and those from other Wesley family members. There are approximately 225 letters of John Wesley, dated from December 18, 1724 to February 24, 1791, just a week before his death. They are organized chronologically, as are the accompanying related materials, with undated items listed first. Recipients of the letters include Ebenezer Blackwell, Elizabeth Bennis, Samuel Bradburn, George Merryweather, Rev. Mellon, Henry Moore, and Thomas Rankin.

George Eliot is among the foremost writers of her time. In spite of her gender, her looks, and her eccentric beliefs, she earned a prominent place within the Victorian literary canon. Middlemarch falls near the end of her life and career, and it clinched her financial and popular success. In researching Middlemarch, we uncovered an almost unfathomable amount of information. Middlemarch 's scope as a novel is unquestionably vast; so too is the writing on it. Therefore, this project is intended only as an introduction into the world of Middlemarch commentary and criticism. Genevieve Davis and Diana Block look into the novel's immediate critical reception. Abby Hertzmark describes the development of the 8-part novel and the history of its publication. Jennifer Kremer gives us insights into the mind and life of the soft-spoken genius, Mary Anne Evans. Each contributed an annotated bibliography for their own subject, and Bryan Wagner and Dot Gribbin examined and annotated more current critical works. Davis designed the web page and assisted Wagner and Gribbin in putting the completed project online. Please feel free to email any one of us with questions regarding individual pages.

George Eliot The following article was written by Virginia Woolf about Mary Ann Evans (1819-1880) who used the pseudonym George Eliot. The article was first published in The Times Literary Supplement on November 20th, 1919: To read George Eliot attentively is to become aware how little one knows about her. It is also to become aware of the credulity, not very creditable to one's insight, with which, half consciously and partly maliciously, one had accepted the late Victorian version of a deluded woman who held phantom sway over subjects even more deluded than herself. At what moment and by what means her spell was broken it is difficult to ascertain. Some people attribute it to the publication of her Life. Perhaps George Meredith, with his phrase about the mercurial little showman and the errant woman on the dais, gave point and poison to the arrows of thousands incapable of aiming them so accurately, but delighted to let fly. She became one of the butts for youth to laugh at, the convenient symbol of a group of serious people who were all guilty of the same idolatry and could be dismissed with the same scorn. Lord Acton had said that she was greater than Dante Indeed, one cannot escape the conviction that the long, heavy face with its expression of serious and sullen and almost equine power has stamped itself depressingly upon the minds of people who remember George Eliot, so that it looks out upon them from her pages. Mr Gosse has lately described her as he saw her driving through London in a victoria:

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of George Eliot George Eliot was the pseudonym of Mary Anne Evans, born in 1819 in small-town England, and the youngest of five children. Mary Anne was afforded the privileges of a private education, and enjoyed books and learning from a young age; she was introspective and quiet, much like her character Dorothea from Middlemarch, and was a bit of an anomaly among young women of the time. However, Mary Anne had to leave school at the age of 19, when her mother died in early 1839. However, her father still continued to indulge her love of learning, purchasing books for her and helping her learn German and Italian. In 1841, Mary Anne's father moved them to the larger town of Foleshill, where Mary Anne met Charles and Cara Bray, who would be good friends of hers for some time to come. Through the Brays, Mary Anne met others who would become close friends, and was even introduced to Ralph Waldo Emerson. However, Mary Anne soon became very self-conscious about her unconventionality among this more accepting group of friends. She also began to renounce her faith in Christianity, which caused distance between Mary Anne and her father. Mr. Evans died in 1849, leaving Mary Anne little money in his will. Through the Brays, she met John Chapman, a publisher and bookseller from London. Chapman and Mary Anne became good friends, and soon he asked Mary Anne to become the behind-the-scenes editor for the Westminster Review. Mary Anne worked at the Review for two years, despite getting no credit for her work. In 1851, Mary Anne met George Henry Lewes, and they soon became romantically involved. Though Lewes was already married, he and his wife had been separated for some years, and his wife was already living with another man; Lewes and Mary Anne soon decided to live together as husband and wife, despite the scandal it would cause.
