MIDDLEMARCH ENGLISH EDITION - GEORGE ELIOT KART...

The Penguin English Library Edition of Middlemarch by George Eliot 'She did not know then that
it was Love who had come to her briefly as in a dream before awaking  with the hues of morning
on his wings - that it was Love to whom she was sobbing her farewell as his image was banished
by the blameless rigour of irresistible day' George Eliot's most ambitious novel is a masterly
evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community. Peopling its
landscape are Dorothea Brooke  a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads
her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon  the charming but tactless Dr
Lydgate  whose marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamund and pioneering medical methods
threaten to undermine his career  and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode  hiding scandalous
crimes from his past. As their stories interweave  George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and
moving drama  hailed by Virginia Woolf as 'one of the few English novels written for adult
people'. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English  from the
eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
