About this product

Product Information

'Middlemarch' is a complex tale of idealism, disillusion, profligacy, loyalty and frustrated love. This penetrating analysis of the life of an English provincial town during the time of social unrest prior to the Reform Bill of 1832 is told through the lives of Dorothea Brooke and Dr Tertius Lydgate and includes a host of other paradigm characters who illuminate the condition of English life in the mid-nineteenth century. AUTHOR: Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880), better known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist. She was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological insight. She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names, but Eliot wanted to ensure that she was not seen as merely a writer of romances. An additional factor may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes

  • Mind Boggling

    Middlemarch is a long book which is slightly tedious at times but also very funny in places. The relationships which drive the plot are very complicated as everybody is, or has been, married to someone else's bother or sister so that everyone in it is distantly related to everyone else. There are four different plots, some of which don't mesh well together. However, George Eliot's psychological insight is profound and she delves into characters' feelings to great detail. For this alone it is worth persevering with.
