Scenes of Clerical Life

By: Eliot, George

George Eliot, or Mary Ann Evans, was born at Arbury Farm, in the parish of Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire, on the 22nd of November, 1819. She was the fifth and last child of her father by his second wife-of that father whose sound sense and integrity she so keenly apprecia-ted, and who was to a certain extent the original of her famous characters of Adam Bede and Caleb Garth.Both during and after her schooldays George Eliot's history was that of a mind continually out-growing its conditions. She became an excellent housewife and a de-voted daughter, but her nature was too large for so cram-ped a life. 'You may try, ' she writes in Daniel Deronda, 'but you can never imagine what it is to have a man's for-ce of genius in you, and to suffer the slavery of being a girl.
