George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, stands among the greatest novelists of the 19th century, renowned for her profound psychological insight, moral depth, and richly detailed portrayals of English provincial life. The Mill on the Floss, first published in 1860, remains one of her most beloved and enduring works.
