Über den Autor
George Eliot (Author)George Eliot was born in Nuneaton in 1819. Baptised Mary Anne Evans, Eliot chose to write using a male pen name. In 1851 she became a journalist, as assistant editor of the Westminster Review. That same year she met George Henry Lewes and they became partners for the rest of his life. Lewes was already married but he and Eliot set up home together, much to the dismay of polite London society. In 1857 Eliot published her first short work of fiction 'Amos Barton' and in 1859 her novel Adam Bede was published to great acclaim, beginning her career as a novelist. Her first attempt to write Middlemarch ended in failure. Abandoning it, she began a short novel entitled 'Miss Brooke'; Middlemarch had started to take shape. The first instalment was published on 1 December 1871. George Eliot died in 1880 and is buried in Highgate Cemetery. Zadie Smith (Introducer) Zadie Smith was born in north-west London in 1975. She is the author of the novels White Teeth, The Autograph Man, On Beauty, NW and Swing Time, as well as The Embassy of Cambodia and the essay collection, Changing My Mind. She is also the editor of The Book of Other People, is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and has twice been listed as one of Granta's 20 Best Young British Novelists. She has won the Orange Prize for Fiction, the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Guardian First Book Award among many others, and been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction.
