«Middlemarch» is the novel by George Eliot published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (960 pages, in Spanish).
Middlemarch portrays provincial life in nineteenth-century England through several interwoven plots: the frustrated idealism of a young intellectual vocation, the contradictions of an ill-matched marriage, and the ambitions of a rural community. The work combines social criticism with psychological analysis of its characters, showing how social expectations, especially those on women, condition their decisions and desires.
The edition includes the subtitle «un estudio de la vida de provincias» and is part of the Letras Universales collection, edited by Pilar Hidalgo.
For readers of nineteenth-century classics seeking a lengthy novel about Victorian society and the role of women.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
