Hvem daterede George Eliot?

George Eliot var et pseudonym for Mary Ann Evans (født 22. november 1819, død 22. december 1880) var en af de betydeligste engelske romanforfattere fra den victorianske periode. Hun udmærker sig ved sine troværdige beskrivelser af mennesker og sin evne til at udtrykke en tankegang klart og præcist.

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.
