Middlemarch is the prime example of George Eliot's dictum that
"interpretations are illimitable," and in this collection of new
essays Middlemarch is re-examined as an open text responsive to
gaps and fissures, and as resistant to authority as it is to other
fixed notions of identity, idealism, and gender. What does the
novel omit, and how do the omissions shape what is there? How shall
we understand the materiality of the text? What problems does it
pose to adaptation? The novel's plasticity becomes a basis for
investigation into the multiple forms of expressiveness, and a
consideration of how we might plot the patterns linguistically,
ideologically, even cinematically. New spaces emerge within
character, place, and narrative; what seemed absent or inaccessible
assumes shape and definition; Middlemarch remains "Victorian" but
it is a Victorianism understood through the dual perspectives of
the 19th and 21st centuries. Scholars of George Eliot and students
of Victorianism will be engaged by the wide-ranging scope of these
essays, which nonetheless build on each other to form a coherent
narrative of critical reflections. If there is something for
everyone in Middlemarch, there is also something compelling about
each of the essays in this collection.
