george eliot: the poetry

mary ann evans was born in 1819. her father did not consider her a great beauty and thought her chances of marriage were slim. he therefore invested in her education, and by the time she was 16, she had boarded several schools, acquiring that good education. with the death of her mother in 1835, she returned home to keep house for her father and siblings. by 1850, she had moved to london to work at the westminster review, where she published many articles and essays. the following year, mary ann, or marian as she liked to be called, had met george henry lewes, and in 1854, they moved in together, a somewhat scandalous situation, as he was already married, albeit with complications

her view on literature had taken some time to coalesce, but with the publication of parts of scenes from a clerical life in 1858, she knew she wanted to be a novelist. and as her 1856 titled essay “silly novels by lady novelists” stated, not a silly woman’s one at that. under the pseudonym of “george eliot” that we know so well, adam bede was published in 1859, followed by the other great novels of english literature: the mill on the floss, silas marner, and middlemarch. success, of course, meant that her real name came out, but it seemed not to affect how the public devoured her novels

here we look with a keen eye at her poetry. although slim in number, she’s able to take a situation, scene, or thought, and bring us into its world with undeniable care. the poems are read here by richard mitchley and ghizela rowe
