"Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are." —George Eliot 🌸 This quote was on the front of the journal I had when I first went to Chile, over 20 years ago, on the University of California's Education Abroad program. ❤️ I spent hours with that journal, looking at the picture of Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot was her pen name), and thinking about the choices she must have made, and the choices I was making. 📖 I know this quote by heart, and it has popped into my mind many times over the years, as a friend to help me remember who I've been and to remind me that who I choose to be now affects who I will be later. 🌱 I give it to you as a gift. ☀️ May it bring you happiness as you reflect on who you have been, and may it bring you motivation to focus on what matters as you choose who to be now. 💖 #quotes #inspiration #stayInspired #motivation #rememberWhyYouStarted #youCanDoIt #quotestagram #AnswerTheCallToCreate #YourWritingMatters #KeikoOLeary #GeorgeEliot #MaryAnnEvans #publicDomanQuotes #nostalgia #thinkingAboutYourWholeLife #creativeLife #writingLife #artistLife #liveYourArt #liveAsAProtagonist #chooseWhatMatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuXf_3PUpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dia Internacional das Mulheres.
Jane Austen ("A Lady"), Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (Mary Shelley), Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (Colette), Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot) e Maria Firmina dos Reis ("Uma maranhense") também usaram pseudônimo. O marido de Colette, o crítico e escritor Henry Gauthier-Villars, Willy, como era chamado, se apropriou da série de romances ‘Claudine’, um sucesso editorial, que ela escreveu se baseando nas memórias de sua infância. No Brasil, muitas escritoras também usaram o recurso do pseudônimo ou do livro anônimo. Maria Firmina dos Reis, autora do romance Úrsula (1859), considerado por alguns historiadores como o primeiro romance abolicionista da literatura brasileira. Sua assinatura, no entanto, dizia apenas "uma maranhense".
“Metade do mundo não pode entender os prazeres da outra metade.” 
—  Jane Austen romancista britânica (1775 - 1817).
“O mundo precisa de justiça, não de caridade.”
― Mary Shelley escritora britânica  (1797 - 1851).
“De que serve a aplicação onde é precisa a inspiração?“
— Sidonie Colette  escritora francesa  (1873 - 1954).
“Quando chega a morte, não é da nossa ternura que nos arrependemos: é da nossa severidade.” 
—  Mary Ann Evans romancista Britânica. (1819 – 1880). 
“A mente, essa ninguém pode escravizar”. 
—  Maria Firmina dos Reis escritora brasileira (1825-1917).

Mary Ann Evans, 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, most of which are set in provincial England and known for their realism and psychological insight.
Although female authors were published under their own names during her lifetime, she wanted to escape the stereotype of women's writing being limited to lighthearted romances. She also wanted to have her fiction judged separately from her already extensive and widely known work as an editor and critic. Another factor in her use of a pen name may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny.

We don't talk about Currer Bell, we talk about Charlotte Bronte. So why are we still refusing to give Mary Ann Evans her own name on her acclaimed novels? #maryannevans #georgeeliot #reclaimhername #author #literature https://www.instagram.com/p/CL6u2HXMsJp/?igshid=17x5xnl62vdsq

"But in Raveloe village the bells rang merrily, and the church was fuller than all through the rest of the year, with red faces among the abundant dark-green boughs – faces prepared for a longer service than usual by an odorous breakfast of toast and ale." 🍺 I thought they were just eating toast and drinking ale for breakfast, which is strange enough, but the footnote says "Toast, sometimes spiced was often added to ale and other drinks". I also found this at etiquettescholar.com: "In the ale houses of Elizabethan England, a bit of spiced toast was usually put in the bottom of a cup of ale or wine to flavor it, and pos­sibly to soak up the dregs. In time, any male or female whose qualities or accomplishments were frequently honored with a group drink came to be called 'toasts'." Did you know this was a thing?! I'm certain I'm doing something wrong cause this was gross. 🍺 #silasmarner #georgeeliot #maryannevans #foodinbooks #toastandale #signetclassics #signetsaturday https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCxOz1KIIw/?igshid=39hu680loy6n

Viktorianische Menschenstudie
Tumblr media
Von George Eliots Provinzepos »Middlemarch« liegen anlässlich ihres 200. Geburtstages gleich zwei Übersetzungen vor, eine war für den Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse nominiert. Die Lektüre lohnt sich in diesen Tagen besonders, denn als Studie über das Leben in der Provinz zeigt der Roman, wie sich der Mensch »unter den abwechselnden Experimenten der Zeit beträgt.« Read the full article
