EVANS’ BIOGRAPHICAL INSTANCES

After a successful beginning, Evans continued to write great novels for fifteen years. Her second novel “The Mill on the Floss” was written within a year of completion of “Adam Bede”. She dedicated the novel to her husband, Lewes. In the three-volume novel, she mainly discussed her broken relationship with her brother Isaac due to Evan’s illegal marital status. The novel touches new heights of psychological subtlety in its scenes.

WORKS IN FLORENCE

Later, during her trip to Florence in 1860, Evans began to write “Romola”. However, she turned towards the composition of “Silas Marner” and completed it in 1861. It is famous for the artistic brevity and perfection of style. Then Evans published “Romola” in 16 installments in Cornhill Magazine from 1862 to 1863.

POLITICAL WORK

Back in England, Evans wrote, “Felix Holt, the Radical” in 1866. It was written about the time of disagreement on the Reform Bill. Initially, the work was not political but it got a political taste due to the influence of the political irregularities that she had seen. In the novel, Evans discussed an event based on the election riot that she witnessed in 1832 in Nuneaton.
In 1871, Evans published “Middlemarch” in eight parts. It is considered to be the most acclaimed work of George Eliot. It recounts the lives of every class of society from gentry and clergy to middle-class shopkeepers and businessmen to lower-class farmers and laborers. Because of this novel, Evans was termed as “The Victorian Sage”.

END OF CAREER

Her last novel “Daniel Deronda” was written in 8 parts in 1876, two years before Lewes’ death. It represented the contrast between an upper-class girl and a lower one. This minute description and representation was highly appreciated by critics. In 1878, Lewes’ death occurred and for the next two years, Evans edited his work “Life and Mind”.
She got married to John Walter Cross in 1880. He was 20 years younger than her. However, the same year, Evans died of a throat and kidney infection.
