George Eliot is the name seen as the author for Silas Marner. George Eliot was in fact a pen name for Mary Anne Evans. She used the name George Eliot so that her work would be taken more seriously. At the time she was writing books, it was much harder for women to get their books published, so by using a man's name, it was easier for her.
