Middlemarch Novel

What does it mean to live a life of purpose when society, marriage, money, and reputation press in from every side?

In Middlemarch, George Eliot creates one of literature's richest portraits of English provincial life. Idealistic Dorothea Brooke longs for a grand, meaningful existence, but her marriage to the scholarly Edward Casaubon becomes a painful lesson in illusion and self-knowledge. Around her, ambitious doctor Tertius Lydgate, beautiful Rosamond Vincy, earnest Mary Garth, reform-minded Will Ladislaw, and a wide cast of townspeople struggle with love, debt, faith, politics, pride, and social change.
