Description
George Eliot’s Middlemarch is a vast, intimate portrait of a community in the early 1830s, where private longings and public change press upon one another. At its center stands Dorothea Brooke, a young woman hungry for a life of purpose, whose ideals draw her toward a learned but emotionally constricted marriage; around her move doctors, politicians, financiers, and spouses, each negotiating the claims of duty, desire, and reputation.
With unmatched psychological realism, Eliot traces how character is formed within webs of family, class, religion, and money, and how consequences ripple outward from seemingly small choices. Both compassionate and unsparing, the novel examines the limits of reform, the cost of self-deception, and the moral complexity of everyday life—offering a timeless argument that sympathy, intelligence, and integrity matter most where they are hardest to practice: at home, in love, and among neighbors.
