Summary "Critical Miscellanies (Vol. 3 of 3), Essay 4: The Life of George Eliot" by John Morley is a literary biography written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the life and works of the renowned author George Eliot, whose real name was Mary Ann Evans. The narrative examines her contributions to literature, her intellectual pursuits, and the complexities of her personal life, all contextualized within her time period from 1856 to 1876. The essay chronicles George Eliot's journey, beginning with her initial endeavors as a novelist and contemplative thinker. Morley provides insights through Eliot's letters and journals, portraying her as both a brilliant mind and a person deeply concerned with moral and social issues. The discussion encompasses her relationships, particularly with her partner George Henry Lewes, and her struggle with societal norms. Throughout the work, there is a profound reflection on Eliot's dual legacy as a writer and a figure navigating the challenges of a male-dominated literary world, encapsulating her aspirations, disappointments, and ultimately, her impact on literature and society.
