George Eliot: Good Without God Alan Jacobs George Eliot: The Last Victorian. By Kathryn Hughes. On the second day of January 1842, in a mild corner of the English Midlands, a young woman of twenty–two named Mary Ann Evans refused to attend church with her father. "Robert Evans’ response," writes the young woman’s most recent biographer, "was to withdraw into a cold and sullen rage." Thus began what Mary Ann called a "holy war." The conflict had been coming for some time. Robert Evans—the agent of a large estate in Warwickshire, near Coventry—had raised his children as middle–of–the–road Anglicans, but some of his daughter’s teachers, in the "ladies’ seminaries" she attended from age nine, were more enthusiastic. Their evangelical piety appealed to Mary Ann, but she had not been in their world for too long before she began to perceive a dissonance between that piety and her already impressive reading in literature, theology, and science. An inner tension mounted, and culminated in a decisive recognition that she was no longer a Christian. What remained was to summon the courage to make this recognition public—which is to say, reveal it to her father. And this is what she did on the second day of January 1842. Because of her father’s silence, Mary Ann felt that she had to explain herself in a letter to him. Of the Bible she wrote, "I regard these writings as histories consisting of mingled truth and fiction, and while I admire and cherish much of what I believe to have been the moral teaching of Jesus himself, I consider the system of doctrines built upon the facts of his life . . . to be most dishonorable to God and most pernicious in its influence on individual and social happiness." This was scarcely calculated to assuage Robert Evans’ anger, but it had the singular merit of honesty.
