Description

Set during the early part of the 19th century, George Eliot's "Middlemarch" is a work of epic scope that centers on the intersecting lives of the inhabitants of the fictitious titular town of Middlemarch.

The themes of the novel are as numerous as its characters.

Through the narrative of the story the author addresses the status of women, the nature of marriage, politics, religion, and education in the 19th century.

The story is principally concerned with the lives of Dorothea Brooke, an energetic, intelligent, wealthy young woman and of Tertius Lydgate, an idealistic, talented, yet naive young doctor.

Strong parallels can be drawn between the two characters; they both have great aspirations in their work and find themselves in marriages in which they are not happy with.

In addition, numerous sub-plots draw together the lives of the inhabitants of the town.

Considered one of the great achievements of English literature, George Eliot's "Middlemarch" was immensely popular upon its original publication and remains to this day one of the finest examples of the author's prolific and accomplished literary career.
