Middlemarch

by George Eliot
Middlemarch - Thryft
Middlemarch - Thryft

All-encompassing tale of a town in transition.

Middlemarch could be a good read for someone interested in an immersive look into the complex relationships and societal changes of a small town in 19th century England. The novel's detailed and nuanced characterizations bring to life the various inhabitants of the town and the issues they grapple with, from politics and religion to personal aspirations and relationships. Eliot's writing style and ability to explore multiple perspectives make this a must-read for fans of realist literature.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

“It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.”The most ambitious narrative of nineteenth-century realism, Middlemarch tells the story of an entire town in the years leading up to the Reform Bill of 1832, a time when modern methods were starting to challenge old orthodoxies. Eliot’s sophisticated and acute characterization gives rich expression to every nuance of feeling, and vividly brings to life the town’s inhabitants – including the young idealist Dorothea Brooke, the dry scholar Casaubon, the young, passionate reformist doctor Lydgate, the flighty young beauty Rosamond and the old, secretive banker Bulstrode – as they move in counterpoint to each other.Art, religion, politics, society, science, human relationships in all their complexity, nothing is left unexamined under the narrator’s microscope. One of the greatest novels written in the English language, Middlemarch is a literary landmark in its groundbreaking approach, as well as a priceless document of its age.
