Kuka päivitti George Eliot?

George Eliot (oik. Mary Ann Evans, 22. marraskuuta 1819 – 22. joulukuuta 1880) oli englantilainen kirjailija. Hän oli 1800-luvun loppupuolen huomattavimpia kirjailijoita. Eliotin realistiset romaanit, ennen kaikkea Middlemarch, sijoittuvat Englannin maaseudulle.

Eliot käytti kirjailijanimeä tullakseen vakavasti otetuksi, sillä naiskirjailijoita pidettiin usein romanssien kirjoittajina.

George Henry Lewes ( ; 18 April 1817 – 30 November 1878) was an English philosopher and critic of literature and theatre. He was also an amateur physiologist. American feminist Margaret Fuller called Lewes a "witty, French, flippant sort of man". He became part of the mid-Victorian ferment of ideas which encouraged discussion of Darwinism, positivism, and religious skepticism. However, he is perhaps best known today for having openly lived with Mary Ann Evans, who wrote under the pen name George Eliot, as soulmates whose lives and writings were enriched by their relationship, though they never married each other.
