Author: George Eliot( Mary Ann Evans ) / Year: 1819- 1880 / Genre: GothicThe Lifted Veil was written by George Eliot, which was the pen name of Mary Anne Evans. Evans was better known for the realistic fiction that she wrote, so this Gothic story was a bit of a departure for her. It is written from the perspective of Latimer, who is an unreliable narrator who is convinced that he can not only see into the future, but also the thoughts of others. His powers appear to work on everyone except one person, his brother’s fiancée Bertha. This obviously intrigues Latimer a great deal, but his involvement with her has some dark consequences.
