In May 1880, eighteen months after Lewes's death, George Eliot married her long-time friend, John Cross, a man much younger than she was, and she changed her name to Mary Ann Cross.============================Please see my other auctions Thank You --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROMOLAby GEORGE ELIOTWilliam Blackwood and Sons Edinburgh and London, n.d (c. 1875)Original embossed vellum, spines and covers decorated in gilt. decorative endpapers, gilt edgesWith binder label: "Giulio Giannini, Firenze"Fully illustrated with tipped in real albumen photos (views of Florence)Size 5 by 7.5 inchesVery good interior condition, some wear of bindingText in English====================Mary Ann Evans (1819 – 1880; alternatively Mary Anne or Marian, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era.She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876).Like Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy, she emerged from provincial England; most of her works are set there.
