Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College,
University of Kent at Canterbury. 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. Henry
James described Middlemarch as a 'treasurehouse of detail' while
Virginia Woolf famously endorsed George Eliot's masterpiece as 'one
of the few English novels written for grown-up people.
