About this ebook

“Middlemarch - A Study of Provincial Life” is an 1871 novel by English author George Eliot. Set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch, the story revolves around the lives of its inhabitants in the years leading up to the Reform Act in 1832, particularly those of Dorothea Brooke, Tertius Lydgate, Nicholas Bulstrode, and Mary Garth. The novel deals with a variety of themes and issues including marriage, religion, hypocrisy, education, political reform, and the status of women. Although published to mixed reviews, Eliot's “Middlemarch” is now widely considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written in the English language. A veritable classic of English literature without which no bookshelf is complete. Mary Ann Evans (1819–1880), more commonly known as George Eliot, was an English poet, journalist, novelist, and translator. Among the most prominent writers in Victorian England, she wrote seven novels in total, most of which are known for their realism and psychological analyses of provincial English life. Other notable works by this author include: “Adam Bede” (1859), “The Mill on the Floss” (1860), and “Daniel Deronda” (1876). Read & Co. Classics is republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Author

George Eliot

George Eliot (1819–1880), born Mary Ann Evans, was an English writer best known for her poetry and novels. She grew up in a conservative environment where she received a Christian education. An avid reader, Eliot expanded her horizons on religion, science and free thinkers.

    I am happy to report that I have finally made it through Middlemarch! At 784 densely-packed pages, there were times it was a bit of a slog, but, ultimately, the novel rewards the reader with finely-tuned observations about love, marriage, and human nature. Recommended for those willing to give it the time and patience it deserves.

    This was a pleasant light reading, which has not really captivated me. It is a social study with about a provincial town filled with being in love, marriages, deaths, money worries and happiness. Most actions were predictable and relatively typical of that time. You will quickly become familiar with all protagonists and almost can already guess what happens before it undergoes in the book.

    A nuanced and complex novel that deals realistically with life. Comparisons with her contemporary Charles Dickens are inevitable. Compared to Eliot, Dickens seems overly sentimental and even a little crude in his portrayal of characters and their motivations - and I love my Dickens. But Eliot (actually the female author Mary Ann Evans) has an insight into the psychological makeup of her characters that rings true.

    4/5
    Varied narratives describing the life of people in and around the fictional town of Middlemarch. Enjoyable victorian realism, if anything too broad in the story telling for me (lost track on occasion as I mostly read this over my lunch breaks and on public transport).
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    One of the greatest novels ever written; comparable to Tolstoi or other Russian masters. Great character portrayal. Brings to life the life in rural Victorian England in the 19th century.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    So refreshing to read of characters motivated by their core beliefs, yet clearly modifying their actions based on new information or circumstances.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    Moving and profound; all the superlatives are true. There is an aphorism on nearly every page and altogether this is one of those nineteenth century novels that is about a very specific (imaginary) place and yet contains the whole world.

    It's most interesting in the ways she differs from Austen. Much more political and philosophical and concerned with morals and the class system. I liked how it swept over many of the citizens of Middlemarch. It was about the whole town.

    5/5
    Arguably the greatest novel in the English language, a richness of character and unity of theme hard to match. I've reread it every year or two since I discovered it. Even characters I don't like, she makes me understand, such as Rosamund and Bulstrode. Perhaps she is too easy on Farebrother, Fred and Lydgate, three men who indulge themselves more than is fitting.

    This is the story of the lives of people living in the county of Middlemarch in the mid 19th century. The various characters with their interwoven lives are depicted beautifully by the author. The author along with a good story narrative take us a step further into the minds of her characters. A space of two centuries hasn't diminished the impact this beautiful book has on it's readers.

    Longish. Not sure what the fuzz is about? But still, at times intriguing.

    I love the Virginia Woolf quote about Middlemarch: "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people."

    5/5
    Yet another of those books that escaped me far, far longer than it should have. It was a great joy to dive into this world, and while there were definitely a few characters (probably more than a few) that I wanted to reach out and shake some sense into, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The Modern Library edition I read had some odd typos (many d's were replaced with t's, for no discernible reason), so beware that version perhaps, but it's a classic for a reason, and one I'm sure I'll come back to.

    i liked this book very very much; but Jim did not like it at all, although he managed to finish it in around 2007; I read it in my 20's or 30's; cant remember exactly; only Eliot that I disliked was Ramola; and Daniel Deronda was not so good, either
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    A great book. Her empathy even toward people like Bulstrode is remarkable. And I appreciate that she didn't tidy things up with Victorian coincidences. Things ended right, although maybe not what you'd want.

    5/5
    Everybody talks about Jane Austin and I'm a fan too, but why doesn't anybody ever sing the praises of George Elliot? Middlemarch is like Jane Austin on steroids, its not limited to a single societal set - its a whole world, as relevant today as it was when it was written -- it even has murder in it!
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    As I start my cataloging, I'm listing all-time favorites. I've read Middlemarch at least three times, and am overdue for a re-read. It's one the books I think of as lifetime books, to be read and re-read.

    Is it blasphemous to say this book disappointed me?

    Listen. It's a fine story. There's nothing inherently wrong with it. It's a lovely look at provincial life, full of the drama and romantic tension one expects from 19th century literature. But that's-- all it was to me. It was nothing special, nothing life hanging.

    I liked it, sure, but maybe I wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.

    I'm glad I read it, but I doubt I'll be picking it up again any time soon.

    The apex of the development of the 19th century novel. Fascinatingly intellectual and observant, George Eliot and the narrator are hard to separate. This is what the modernists like Virginia Woolf must have been reacting against.

    I was assigned this book in college and faked my way through the class. Years later, I picked it up. It took me 2 yrs to read in fits and starts. The story bogs down in places, but ultimately it was totally worth the long struggle. Very rich. I hate to say it, but I'll need to read it again sometime in order to really understand everything Eliot is trying to say here.

    This novel provides a look at small-town life in Victorian times. The author tells the story of several characters and explores themes such as spirituality vs. religion, the constraints of small-town life and social expectations, idealism and what makes a successful marriage. Well written with many characters and themes to explore.The author displays an amazing understanding of human motivations and behaviour.

    5/5
    I have read this book several times over the years and it still appears fresh each time. It has enormous scope. Dorethea is a wonderful central character who has the grace to learn from her mistakes. My favourite quote is "If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity"

    So proud to have read this book at last! And it was wonderful. It's true, you do have to accustom yourself to the style, but the rewards are great. Insightful, sometimes sad, often witty. Thanks to my wonderful book club (are we forever the Middlemarchers?) for the impetus to read this magnificent novel!
