Mary Ann Evans (22 November 1819 - 22 December 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 is the author of seven novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871-72), and Daniel Deronda (1876), most of them set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight.

She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure her works would be taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names during Eliot's life, but she wanted to escape the stereotype of women only writing lighthearted romances. She also wished to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. An additional factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes, with whom she lived for over 20 years.

Her 1872 work Middlemarch has been described by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.

Mislabeled author - none of the poems is by Elizabeth Barret Browning. Only eight poems in the book - maybe there was supposed to be more? The poems that are actually in the volume are nice.

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016
cover shows George Eliot's "O May I Join the Choir Invisible " but the poetess listed on the cover is Elizabeth Barret Browning. At the first of this collection George Eliot is correctly cited as the poetess responsible for "O May I ..." The otherpoems in this collection do not cite the poet/poetess responsible for them.
fyi the other poems are Robert Browning's "How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix", Elizabeth Barret Browning's "Mother and Poet", William Wordsworth's "Nature's Lady", and Percy Bysshe Shelley's "To A Skylark"

Diese Sammlung enthält folgende Gedichte:
Robert Browning: How they Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix
George Eliot: O may I join the choir invisible
George Eliot Nature's Lady
John Keats: To a skylark
Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Mother and Poet

Nachteilig wirkt sich aus, dass die Verfasser der Gedichte nicht genannt werden. Auch die Formatierung ist alles andere als lesefreundlich.
Ansonsten ist die Qualität der Gedichte durchwachsen. Empfehlenswert ist die Sammlung insbesondere wegen des Gedichtes "Mother and Poet". Elizabeth Barrett Browning hat der Mutter, deren Söhne in den Kampf ziehen und "fallen", ein selten beredtes und eindringliches Denkmal gesetzt. Diese Abwägung des Werts der Freiheit gegen den des Lebens ist höchst geglückt in ihrer Subjektivität.

It may seem ungracious to find fault with a free book, but as with many Kindle books, free and otherwise, this one has no table of contents and so is very unmanageable as a selection of poems. It may be that one could use the search tool, but this is not the same as looking through and choosing a favourite poem.
