Despite a heavy workload, she translated The Essence of Christianity, the only book ever published under her real name. She translated Das Leben Jesu, a monumental task, without signing her name to the 1846 work.Īfter her father's death in 1849, Mary Ann traveled, then accepted an unpaid position with The Westminster Review. Her intellectual views did not, however, change. Her father shunned her, sending the broken-hearted young dependent to live with a sister until she promised to reexamine her feelings. Unable to believe, she conscientiously gave up religion and stopped attending church. Through a family friend, she was exposed to Charles Hennell's "An Inquiry into the Origins of Christianity". Her first published work was a religious poem. Influenced by a favorite governess, she became a religious evangelical as an adolescent. Mary Ann, the youngest child and a favorite of her father's, received a good education for a young woman of her day. She was born in 1819 at a farmstead in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England, where her father was estate manager. * If you would prefer for your book not to be decoratively wrapped but sent simply in the protective packaging please add a note to the order.Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era.
