George Eliot

George Eliot (1819-1880) was the pseudonym adopted by Mary Ann Evans in order for her writing to be taken seriously and published at a time when the idea of a female author would have met with disapproval. For more detail of her life see previous entry. This is a second bronze cast of the statue in Newdegate Square, Nuneaton, Warwickshire.

Location: George Eliot Hospital, Eliot Way, Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
