George Henry Lewes

    George Henry Lewes byl anglický filozof a literární a divadelní kritik, jehož práce odrážela a ovlivňovala viktoriánské myšlení. Byl známý svým zájmem o darwinismus, pozitivismus a náboženský skepticismus. Jeho intelektuální zápal a kritický pohled na umění a filozofii ho učinily významnou postavou své doby. Jeho odkaz je dnes připomínán nejen skrze jeho vlastní díla, ale i díky jeho obdivuhodnému vztahu s George Eliot.
