Discover one of the most admired, best loved and influential novels in the history of English literature. The perfect long read to lose yourself in.

If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life…’

Dorothea is bright, beautiful and rebellious. Lydgate is the ambitious new doctor in town. Both of them long to make a positive difference in the world. But their stories do not proceed as expected and both they, and the other inhabitants of Middlemarch, must struggle to reconcile themselves to their fates and find their places in the world.

Middlemarch contains all of life: the rich and the poor, the conventional and the radical, literature and science, politics and romance, but above all it gives us a vision of what lies within the human heart, the roar on the other side of silence.

’Glorious, sprawling, generous…It is a book I hope to read at every decade of my life, because I think each time it will have something new to teach me’ Greta Gerwig

**One of the BBC’s 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

George Eliot was born in Nuneaton on 22nd November 1819. Baptized Mary Anne Evans, Eliot chose to write using a male pen name. She was sent away to school but returned when her mother died in 1836.She later moved to Coventry with her father.After her father’s death she became the Assistant Editor of the Westminster Review in 1851. She also met George Henry Lewes this year and they became partners for the rest of his life. Lewes was already married, although he and his wife both considered their relationship to be an open one, but he and Eliot set up home together, much to the dismay of polite London society.

In 1857 Eliot published Amos Barton in Blackwood’s Magazine and in 1859 her novel Adam Bede was published to great acclaim.Her first attempt to write Middlemarch, her most famous novel, ended in failure. Abandoning it, she began a short novella entitled Miss Brooke which was eventually integrated into the final version of Middlemarch. The novel was published serially in eight parts in 1871. Lewes died in 1878 and Eliot married again in 1880. Her husband, John Walter Cross was an American who was twenty years her junior. George Eliot died on 22nd December 1880 at 4 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea and is buried in Highgate Cemetery next to Lewes.

Perhaps the greatest novel of them all…An enormous canvas and a vast and poignant range of character…a marvellous portrait of nineteenth-century provincial life—Joanna Trollope, Guardian

In Middlemarch George Eliot’s serious intelligence produced a novel that no one else could have been capable of - a picture of society as an organic, living, breathing synthesis - order and disorder, hope and hopelessness, pride and humility, charity and greed—Kate Atkinson

Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections, is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people—Virginia Woolf

Another great romantic story, in which the adorable intellectually pretentious heroine makes a disastrous marriage to a desiccated fossil before finding true love with a penniless somebody—Jilly Cooper

She had such power, and she knew she had. And such courage —A. S. Byatt, Guardian
