Mary Ann Evans (22 ta’ Novembru 1819 – 22 ta’ Diċembru 1880; jew inkella Mary Anne jew anke Marian[1][2]), magħrufa bil-psewdonimu George Eliot, kienet rumanziera Ingliża, poeta, ġurnalista, traduttriċi, u waħda mill-kittieba prominenti tal-era Vittorjana.[3] Hi kitbet seba’ rumanzi: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) u Daniel Deronda (1876). Simili għal-awturi ta' żmienha bħal Charles Dickens u Thomas Hardy, hi trabbiet fl-Ingliterra provinċjali u ħafna mix-xogħlijiet letterarji tagħha huma bbażati hemm. Ix-xogħlijiet tagħha huma magħrufa għar-realiżmu, għall-atmosfera u r-rappreżentazzjoni dettaljata tal-kampanja u anke għax jixħtu dawl fuq il-psikoloġija. Ir-rumanziera Virginia Woolf iddeskriviet ir-rumanz Middlemarch bħala “wieħed mill-ftit rumanzi Ingliżi miktub għall-adulti”, filwaqt li Martin Amis [4][5] u Julian Barnes ukoll iddeskrivewh bħala l-aqwa rumanz Ingliż.
