With sure and subtle touch, Eliot paints a luminous and spacious landscape of life in a provincial town, interweaving her themes with a proliferation of characters: an innocent idealist; a self-defeated young doctor; a naive young woman; and a cold man, who "lives too much with the dead".
One of the most accomplished and prominent novels of the Victorian era, Middlemarch is an unsurpassed portrait of nineteenth-century English provincial life. Dorothea Brooke is a young woman of fervent ideals who yearns to effect social change yet faces resistance from the society she inhabits. In this epic in a small landscape, Eliot's large cast of precisely delineated characters and the rich tapestry of their stories result in a wise, compassionate, and astute vision of human nature. As Virginia Woolf declared, George Eliot "was one of the first English novelists to discover that men and women think as well as feel, and the discovery was of great artistic moment." Introduction by E. S. Shaffer (Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)

WARUM JETZT DAS?
Weil es dieser Tage 200 Jahre her ist, dass George Eliot zur Welt kam. Die Autorin, die eigentlich Mary Ann Evans hieß, war als junge Frau tief religiös, später Atheistin, lebte lange unverheiratet mit einem jüngeren Mann zusammen und genoss als Schriftstellerin und Denkerin trotzdem großes Ansehen in der viktorianischen Gesellschaft. Schon das ist interessant.
UND "MIDDLEMARCH" ERST RECHT?
So ist es. Eine Kleinstadt um 1830, kurz vor sozialen und voller privater Umbrüche. Satire, Realismus, Zartheit, Humor, alles drin, von Glück bis Unglück, halb Jane Austen, halb Tolstoi. Virginia Woolf nannte das Buch den einzigen englischen Roman für Erwachsene. Ein Muss. (balk.)
