Hello and welcome,

I believe you meant to type authorial background instead of autorial background. I did some research and I learned that the authorial background is mostly information about the author, including name, birth date, birthplace, early life, reason for writing work, etc.
It is just a general description and info about the author of the work. Depending on how much info you may need, you might want to include parents' names, siblings, national events at the time (war, economy, etc.).
I really hope that helps, if you need anything else, just ask. Best of luck.

Hey,
Have you by any chance read Silas Marner By Geroge Eliot?

Hello once again,

If you need any help with the book, I came across this really great website with complete notes over the whole book. It gives you all kind of information and helps one to understand the book.

Check it out: http://www.bookrags.com/notes/sm/

I don't know if you need it or not, but here it is if you do.
