Middlemarch (AmazonClassics Edition)

In George Eliot's monumental novel Middlemarch, young and idealistic Dorothea Brooke marries the much older Reverend Edward Casaubon, hoping to aid his scholarly ambitions, while progressive doctor Tertius Lydgate faces turmoil after marrying the self-centered Rosamond Vincy. Set against the backdrop of a provincial village on the brink of significant societal change, the story explores themes of stubbornness, jealousy, and disillusionment that threaten the characters' aspirations and relationships. This revised edition presents Eliot's rich exploration of Victorian society, originally published in eight volumes, as one of the most esteemed English novels ever.
