1 You are going to read part of a novel by a famous English writer. Read about her life and complete the fact sheet.
George Eliot (1819-1880) was the pen name of the English writer
Mary Ann Evans. She grew up in the countryside and was very
close to her older brother Isaac. When she was 16, her mother
died and Mary left school to look after her family for the next
14 years. When her father died in 1849, she moved to London,
where she organised a magazine and wrote articles for it. Ten
years later, the first of her seven novels appeared. A lot of the
ideas in The Mill on the Floss (1860) came from her own life.​
