George Eliot: Life and Literature

This author of "Silas Marner" and "Middlemarch" is profiled in this engaging biographical film. Embracing her rebellious nature, Mary Ann Evans became a pariah in polite Victorian society by living unconventionally. Surviving a strict childhood, she became a serious academic and altered the nature of the 19th-century novel, adapting the pseudonym of "George Eliot." 60 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
