Among those that I think offer valuable insights in an engaging way are Alison Booth’s Greatness Engendered: George Eliot and Virginia Woolf Gillian Beer’s George Eliot and Rosemarie Bodenheimer’s The Real Life of Mary Ann Evans. A lot of scholarly books are very specialized and written in a dense style that can be frustrating or tedious for non-academics: this is not so much a flaw as a requirement of their genre. It depends on what you’re hoping to learn more about, as well as on what kind of books you like to read. See my recommendations on the Life page of this site.Īre there any critical books on George Eliot that you’d recommend? Which biographies of George Eliot do you recommend? If, after these, you still want more, you’re hard core and don’t need any further interference from me! If you loved Middlemarch and would like to read more George Eliot, I recommend The Mill on the Floss (1860) as your next step, followed by Adam Bede (1859) and Daniel Deronda (1876).
