The Lifted Veil is a novella by George Eliot, first published in 1859. Quite unlike the realistic fiction for which Eliot is best known, The Lifted Veil explores themes of extrasensory perception, the essence of physical life, possible life after death, and the power of fate. The novella is a significant part of the Victorian tradition of horror fiction, which includes such other examples as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897).

Im Zentrum stehen die Charaktere, insbesondere die missverstehende Konfrontation verschiedener Lebenswelten: Ausführlich werden die psychischen Abgründe dargestellt, die ein Gefangener der Gestapo erlebt, und durch die Rahmenhandlung mit der oberflächlichen Lebenswelt wohlhabender Reisender konfrontiert. Obwohl die Novelle offenbar noch während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus spielt und der Ich-Erzähler Österreicher ist, wird die Existenz des Nationalsozialismus erst in der Erzählung eines früheren Gefangenen angesprochen. Auch das Schachspiel spielt anfangs nur die Rolle einer oberflächlichen Unterhaltung, bzw. eines einträglichen Sports, und erhält erst durch die Figur des Gefangenen Dr. B., der sich während seiner Haftzeit intensiv, gleichsam manisch, mit Schach beschäftigt hat, seine wirkliche Bedeutung.
