“ Eliot is very good at showing how people act against their best interests because of subtle social pressures that lead them a certain way. ” - Emrys Westacott, Philosopher ◼◻◼◻◼➖➖➖➖➖ “ It’s like several novels in one …. The idea is that, while you read successively, the events being narrated happen simultaneously. It makes you appreciate that there are so many lives interconnected and separated going on at the same time in this little world. It’s only a provincial town, but it’s an image of the whole world.” - Philip Davis, The Best George Eliot Books ◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌠🌌🌱🍂🍁🍃🌐🐺🏞🏕🌄🌅🛣🛤🌕🌞🌤🏡📗📕📘📑 ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼ 🍂 - About This Product: Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by the English author Mary Anne Evans, who wrote as George Eliot. It first appeared in eight instalments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midland town, in 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Despite comic elements, Middlemarch uses realism to encompass historical events: the 1832 Reform Act, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. It looks at medicine of the time and reactionary views in a settled community facing unwelcome change. Eliot began writing the two pieces that formed the novel in 1869–1870 and completed it in 1871. It is now seen widely as her best work and one of the great English novels. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻ 🌠🌌🌱🍂🍁🍃🌐🐺🏞🏕🌄🌅🛣🛤🌕🌞🌤🏡📗📕📘📑 ◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼◻◼➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 📘 - Professional Review 1:
Middlemarch is one of those books that can exert an almost hypnotic power over its readers. Few other titles in this series will inspire quite the same intensity of response. Middlemarch is also supremely a work of serious literature. According to Virginia Woolf, it is "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people". Later in the 20th century the influential critic FR Leavis made Middlemarch a central element of his "Great Tradition". Today it stands as perhaps the greatest of many great Victorian novels.

It is considered to be Eliot’s masterpiece. The realist work is a study of every class of society in the town of Middlemarch—from the landed gentry and clergy to the manufacturers and professional men, farmers, and labourers. The focus, however, is on the thwarted idealism of its two principal characters, Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate, both of whom marry disastrously. Dorothea is an earnest intelligent woman who makes a serious error in judgment when she chooses to marry Edward Casaubon, a pompous scholar many years her senior. Dorothea hopes to be actively involved in his work, but he wants her to serve as a secretary. She comes to doubt both his talent. Furthermore, the controlling Casaubon becomes jealous when she develops a friendship with Will Ladislaw, his idealistic cousin. Although disappointed, Dorothea remains committed to the marriage and tries to appease her husband.
