b. 12-22-1880

George Eliot was the pen name of Victorian author Mary Anne Evans. Her novels, known for their realism and psychological insight, were set in provincial England.

Poster Text: So year after year, Silas Marner had lived in this solitude, his guineas rising in the iron pot, and his life narrowing and hardening itself more and more into a mere pulsation of desire and satisfaction that had no relation to any other being. His life had reduced itself to the functions of weaving and hoarding, without any contemplation of and end towards which the functions tended.
