Miss Brooke had that sort of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress...
Described by some as the greatest novel in the English Language, Middlemarch paints a captivating portrait of provincial life at the time of the Industrial Revolution.
The story centres on the idealistic Dorothea Brooke & the pioneering Tertius Lydgate & their disastrous marriages to unsuitable partners.
George Eliot also draws on a huge cast of other finely drawn characters to reflect facets of humankind, in all its fragility & complexity.
