Biography by  Frederick Karl based on unpublished letters from Eliot herself and her circle. He argues that her entire life, from late childhood onwards, was a process of continuous transformation: from Mary Anne, to Marian, to Mrs George Henry Lewis, to George Eliot. He demonstrates how as George Eliot, her work embodies her own profound held beliefs about morality, individuals and society (a society which changed more rapidly during her lifetime than ever before) and how she communicated these beliefs to others.
