George Henry Lewes was een Engelse filosoof en literair en theatercriticus, diep ondergedompeld in de intellectuele stromingen van het midden van de Victoriaanse tijd. Hij engageerde zich met opkomende ideeën over Darwinisme, positivisme en religieus scepticisme, en droeg bij aan de vurig debatten van die era. Zijn kritische scherpzinnigheid en filosofische onderzoekingen vormden het hedendaagse discours over kunst en denken. Hoewel hij bekend staat om zijn connectie met George Eliot, markeren zijn eigen intellectuele bijdragen hem als een belangrijke figuur van het Victoriaanse intellectuele leven.
