A fav. #FindingMiddlemarch🔎 exhibit… there is no entry for Marian Evans in the 1861/71 census. But there is a Mrs Marian E. Lewes. For occupation George Eliot ignores the fact she's a bestselling author so that she can defiantly put ‘wife’ exploringeliot.org/FM/7

The latest #FindingMiddlemarch chapter includes Edwin Long's The Babylonian Marriage Market @RHUL_Gallery. By spotlighting an ancient scene that presents women as commodities rather than as individuals, Long holds up a mirror 🪞to Victorian society... exploringeliot.org/FM/7

Also of note, the word lace is derived from the Latin for noose & is related to the term lacere, meaning to entice or ensnare. A fitting accessory for Rosamond - whose feverish weaving is indicative of the dextrous manner she manipulates her own fate, esp in her relations w/ men.

This footstool, thought to have been embroidered 🪡 by George Eliot, exemplifies the kind of intricate needlepoint that would have served as a suitable demonstration of feminine refinement in the 19thC. exploringeliot.org/FM/7 Find out more at #FindingMiddlemarch🔎

Such a fascinating story of social mobility & status anxiety - did George Eliot make cheese or not?!

This sampler was made by Mary Ann Tidye in 1813 at age 11. @The_Herbert houses an impressive collection of samplers stitched in the 19thC by girls as young as nine. As a child, George Eliot would have produced comparable work. 🪡🧵#FindingMiddlemarch🔎 exploringeliot.org/FM/7
