But she was brilliantly self-educated and able at once to shine in London literary circles. It was, however, her novels of English rural life that brought her fame, starting with \u003ci\u003eAdam Bede\u003c\/i\u003e, published under her new pen name in 1859, and reaching a zenith with \u003ci\u003eMiddlemarch\u003c\/i\u003e in 1871. Eliot was a devoutly moral woman but lived for 25 years with a man who already had a wife. It is indicative of the respect and love that she inspired in her most devoted readers that Queen Victoria was one of them.Egan, JenniferJennifer Egan is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Circus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLook At Me\u003c\/i\u003e and the short-story collection \u003ci\u003eEmerald City\u003c\/i\u003e.
