Coming from provincial England, most of her works are situated within the location she was familiar with. Her writings catered to the dual themes of realism with a prominent underlying psychological insight. Her work helped develop the characteristic of psychological analysis in modern fiction. Evans was born on 22 November 1819 at an estate of her father’s employer.
