Adam george eliot novel5/27/2023 Actually, Mary Anne Evans had to come forward and claim authorship of Adam Bede after some random guy tried to say he wrote it. Success tends to cancel out anonymity after all. The Brontë sisters did this too actually – Charlotte Brontë published her first works, including Jane Eyre, under the name "Curer Bell" for instance.īy the time The Mill on the Floss was published, George Eliot’s real identity was quickly becoming known. What’s up with the masculine pen-name? Well, a lot of nineteenth-century female authors used male pen-names, since it was harder for women to get published and be taken seriously as writers. See, George Eliot is the pen-name of one Mary Anne Evans. Of course, George Eliot wasn’t actually the one achieving all this success and fame, since George Eliot didn’t actually exist. The Mill on the Floss was very successful and helped George Eliot achieve even greater fame. Before this novel, Eliot had published a book of short stories, the excitingly titled Scenes From a Clerical Life, and the novel Adam Bede. The Mill on the Floss is George Eliot's the third major work of fiction and her second novel published in 1860.
