Middlemarch is a novel by the British author George Eliot, published in 1871. The story is set in the fictional town of Middlemarch during the 1830s and explores themes such as marriage, ambition, politics, and social hypocrisy. The novel follows the lives of several characters, including Dorothea Brooke, an idealistic young woman who seeks a purpose in life, and Dr. Tertius Lydgate, an ambitious doctor who tries to reform the local medical system. Middlemarch is considered one of the best novels in English and is known for its psychological realism and its detailed portrayal of life in Victorian England.
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.
