Best known for her masterpieces "Middlemarch "and "Silas Marner," George Eliot (18191880) was both one of the most brilliant writers of her day, and one of the most talked about. Intellectual and independent, she had the strength to defy polite society with her highly unorthodox private life which included various romances and regular encounters with the primarily male intelligentsia.
