George Henry Lewes
 George Henry Lewes (18 April 1817 – 30 November 1878) was an English philosopher and critic of literature and theatre. He became part of the mid-Victorian ferment of ideas which encouraged discussion of Darwinism positivism and religious scepticism. However he is perhaps best known today for having openly lived with George Eliot a soul-mate whose life and writings were enriched by their friendship although they were never married.
