Mary Ann Evans, known by pen name George Eliot, spent a long life of writing down many novels, most notably Middlemarch. This demonstrated what a wonderful author she was, having made many interesting pieces of readings for many to enjoy. She was married to George Henry Lewes, the editor of The Leader, in 1855 where they were happy together for many years to comes, until 1878 where he passed away. She proved how much she cared for him bu finifhinsg the final volume of Lewes's Problems of Life and Mind. Eventually she would meet John Walter Cross, originally giving him Italian lessons until she agreed to marry him in 1880. At the same year they moved to Cheyne Walk, where she caught a cold and died toward the end of the year. She was buried next to her first husband, while her second husband made a biography of George Eliot. Overall, this shows that she did indeed have lived a good life, she cared for her first husband by finishing his work and then was buried next to him. So in return, it was right that her second husband got to write about her as well.
