A timeless masterpiece of candid observation, emotional insight and transcending humour, set in the fictional town of Middlemarch.
Middlemarch is a truly monumental novel, capturing the intricacies of Victorian life through the lives of its brilliantly drawn characters. Dorothea Brooke, a beautiful and idealistic young woman, pursues the pompous Edward Casuabon, convinced that he embodies her principles, only to find herself trapped in an unhappy marriage. Tertius Lydgate, an anguished progressive, strives to bring modern medicine to the provinces, his efforts muddied by unrequited love. Around them, a multitude of other characters play out their lives in the town of Middlemarch.
George Eliot's incomparable portrait of Victorian society has endured as one of the greatest novels of all time. Crafted with candid observation, emotional insight and transcending humour, Middlemarch continues to appeal to modern readers and has been adapted as a BBC Radio 4 drama. This complete and unabridged edition features an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jennifer Egan.
One of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World, this beautiful hardback edition is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of much-loved classic titles designed to be treasured.

George Eliot (1819-80) was born Mary Ann Evans into the family of a Warwickshire land agent and did not escape provincial life until she was 30. But she was brilliantly self-educated and able at once to shine in London literary circles. It was, however, her novels of English rural life that brought her fame, starting with Adam Bede, published under her new pen name in 1859, and reaching a zenith with Middlemarch in 1871. Eliot was a devoutly moral woman but lived for 25 years with a man who already had a wife. It is indicative of the respect and love that she inspired in her most devoted readers that Queen Victoria was one of them.
Jennifer Egan is the author of The Invisible Circus, Look At Me and the short-story collection Emerald City. Her short stories have been published in the New Yorker, Harper’s, and GQ , among others, and her nonfiction appears frequently in the New York Times Magazine. She lives with her husband and son in Brooklyn.
