One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World' The Penguin
English Library Edition of Middlemarch by George Eliot 'She did not
know then that it was Love who had come to her briefly as in a
dream before awaking, with the hues of morning on his wings - that
it was Love to whom she was sobbing her farewell as his image was
banished by the blameless rigour of irresistible day' George
Eliot's most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse
lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community. Peopling its
landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for
intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to
the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr
Lydgate, whose marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamund and
pioneering medical methods threaten to undermine his career; and
the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from
his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a
richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as 'one
of the few English novels written for adult people'. The Penguin
English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from
the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning
of the First World War.
