Description:George Eliot finished the manuscript in 1878 but it wasn't published until 1879, as she wanted to leave a respectful time between Lewes' death and it's publication. This was her last work before she died.


George Eliot (born Mary Ann Evans) was a local authoress based in the Coventry and Nuneaton district, from 1819-1880.
