Middlemarch

Beschreibung

This novel is written by English author George Eliot (Mary Anne Evans). This novel includes distinct, interesting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Middlemarch originates in two unfinished pieces that Eliot worked on during 1869 and 1870. A passionate young women's search for a rewarding and meaningful life unfolds in Middlemarch, an English town taking its first steps towards modernization. From tradesmen to gentry, the provincial community's residents from a microcosm of political and social change during the 1830s. Rich in narrative irony and suspense, George Eliot's masterpiece will captivate readers of all ages.

This early exposure to literature and philosophy shaped her future writing.In 1851, Evans moved to London and became assistant editor of the Westminster Review, a major intellectual journal. She formed a partnership with critic George Henry Lewes, living with him despite social conventions. To ensure her fiction was taken seriously, she adopted the pen name George Eliot.Her novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), and Middlemarch (1871-72), are praised for their realism and psychological depth. She explored rural life, human relationships, and moral struggles with great insight. Eliot died on December 22, 1880, leaving a lasting mark on Victorian literature.
