Her first published work dates from this period. A reconciliation was arranged by her brother and her friends, and she agreed to resume church attendance and returned to her father. Her father refused to live with her on those terms, and she went to her brother for three weeks. She soon decided that she could no longer attend church in good faith. As she had matured Mary Ann's religious beliefs had changed, and friends whom she met here further shook her faith in Christianity. She and her father moved to a house near Coventry.

In 1841 her brother Isaac married and took over their father's house. With the help of visiting teachers she continued her studies of Italian, German, Greek, and Latin.

It was here she adopted the religious devotion and self-repression which dominated her character up to the age of twenty.įollowing the death of her mother and her sister's marriage in 1837 Mary Ann took charge of her father's household. Miss Lewis, the principal of the second of these, which she attended from 1828 to 1832, had a great influence on her. She and her sister attended several boarding schools for girls. She was born in Warwickshire, England, in 1819, the third child of Robert Evans and his second wife, Christina. George Eliot was the pseudonym of Mary Ann (later Marian) Evans.
