Middlemarch

Middlemarch

★ Topped the BBC's "Greatest British Novels" list ★ Ranked 8th in Time Magazine's "All-Time 100 Novels" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Middlemarch, set in a 19th-century English provincial town, depicts numerous characters and, through them, presents a social panorama. The book has two narrative threads: on the one hand, it tells of the disastrous marriage and shattered ideals of the young woman Dorothea; on the other hand, it tells of the tragic marriage and failed career of the young doctor Lydgate. The author skillfully intertwines these two main threads using techniques such as contrast, symmetry, parallelism, and repetition, incorporating a multitude of characters to successfully convey the theme of disillusionment: "society defeats individuals." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ “The greatest novel in the English language.” —Literary critic F. R. Leavis
