Despite her masculine pen-name, George Eliot was in fact a woman named Mary Ann Evans who was born in the English Midlands in
1819, the daughter of a well-to-do estate agent. When Mary Ann was sixteen her mother died and she took over the running of the household for her father, which was
a common practice in nineteenth century England. The family was conservative and conformist, and Mary Ann was brought up in a conventional and religious atmosphere. She inclined towards Calvinism, a
strictly doctrinal interpretation of Christianity, but under the influence of various intellectuals with whom she associated, she gradually became more sceptical and clashed with her father over the matter of
attending church services. She continued to maintain her fathers household until his death, by which
time she was thirty years old. In Victorian England, it was normal for girls to marry young, and Mary Ann was unusual in that she had remained single, and had
some degree of financial independence as a result of benefiting from her fathers will. It is evident that because of her upbringing, her contact with intellectuals and her own capacity
for independent thought, that she was something of a nonconformist in social terms, and this was reinforced when she entered into a common-law marriage with her editor, Henry Lewes.
