Middlemarch is George Eliot’s great Victorian novel of provincial life, ambition, marriage, politics and moral choice. Set in the fictional town of Middlemarch around 1830, the novel follows Dorothea Brooke, Tertius Lydgate and a wide cast of characters whose private hopes are shaped by social expectation, money, reputation and change. Rich, intelligent and deeply humane, it is widely regarded as one of the major achievements of nineteenth-century English fiction.
