A timeless masterpiece of candid observation, emotional insight and transcending humour, set in the fictional town of Middlemarch.
Middlemarch is a truly monumental novel, capturing the intricacies of Victorian life through the lives of its brilliantly drawn characters. Dorothea Brooke, a beautiful and idealistic young woman, pursues the pompous Edward Casuabon, convinced that he embodies her principles, only to find herself trapped in an unhappy marriage. Tertius Lydgate, an anguished progressive, strives to bring modern medicine to the provinces, his efforts muddied by unrequited love. Around them, a multitude of other characters play out their lives in the town of Middlemarch.
George Eliot's incomparable portrait of Victorian society has endured as one of the greatest novels of all time. Crafted with candid observation, emotional insight and transcending humour, Middlemarch continues to appeal to modern readers and has been adapted as a BBC Radio 4 drama. This complete and unabridged edition features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan.
One of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, this beautiful hardback edition is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of much-loved classic titles designed to be treasured.

Acerca del autor
George Eliot was born Mary Ann Evans in 1819. Her father was the land agent of Arbury Hall in Warwickshire, in the library of which Eliot embarked upon a brilliant self-education. She moved to London in 1850 and shone in its literary circles. It was, however, her novels of English rural life that brought her fame, starting with Adam Bede, published under her new pen-name in 1859. She went on to publish novels including The Mill on the Floss in 1860 and Middlemarch in 1871 as well as poetry and nonfiction of which Queen Victoria was one of her most devoted readers. She died in 1880.
