George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871-72) is one of the classic novels of English literature and was admired by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people." The complex main plot and many subplots revolve around Dorothea Brooke, an ardent young woman, and her relationship to three men: Casaubon, a clergyman and scholar twice her age; Lydgate, an ambitious young doctor who shares Dorothea's enthusiasm for reform but whose flaws compromise his ambitions; and Will Ladislaw, a young man of mysterious origins, romantic temperament, and artistic inclinations. A female Bildungsroman and a study of character and society in the realistic mode pioneered by Balzac, Middlemarch is also an historical novel that offers a panorama of English society in an era of social reform and political agitation. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a rich selection of contextual materials, including contemporary reviews of the novel, other writings by George Eliot (essays, reviews, and criticism), and historical documents pertaining to medical reform, religious freedom, and the advent of the railroads.

评分小说的叙述者 《米德尔马契》中的叙述者能看得穿人物的愚蠢、自欺和自以为是,这简直是灾难。他直接告诉读者,此处应该给予同情!但却无理无据。他所讲的那一套,无非是艾略特式的讽刺,图一时口快而已,把小说里的人物都给浪费了。 而小说里的人物完全意识不到,无论何时何地...

评分想为艾略特奶奶打六颗星
评分太长了,印象最深的是书里几对夫妻的关系,有相互理解和支持,也有的完全无法沟通,所有的尝试都成了徒劳,对婚姻悲剧的刻画相当精彩,读的时候真觉得喘不过气来。
评分Eliot "had felt on her own pulse the need to re-channel moral ardour and spiritual craving in a worthwhile direction".
