Beschreibung

"Character is not cut in marble - it is not something solid and unalterable. It is something living and changing, and may become diseased as our bodies do."
George Eliot, Middlemarch
Middlemarch (1871-1872) by George Eliot tells the story of an ardent and bright woman, Dorothea Brooke. After moving to the town of Middlemarch, she marries a middle-aged clergyman, Edward Casaubon, thinking that he will help her grow spiritually and intellectually. To her disappointment, Casaubon's ideas turn out to be outdated and do her no good. Meanwhile, she befriends his young cousin, Will Ladislaw. Ladislaw falls in love with Dorothea but tries to remain distant from her. Nonetheless, Casaubon becomes extremely jealous and insecure. Not long after, Casaubon dies, leaving behind a will. According to the will, if Dorothea ever marries Ladislaw, she will lose Casaubon's wealth and estate. Despite the threat of losing everything, Dorothea and Ladislaw cannot help but love each other and eventually marry each other.

Über den Autor

George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans, was a prominent 19th-century English novelist celebrated for her psychological depth and realistic portrayal of human nature. Born in rural Warwickshire, Eliot's early life was shaped by the responsibilities of caring for her family after her mother's death. Following her father's passing, she moved to London and became involved in intellectual circles. Eliot began her literary career with Scenes of Clerical Life, and her first novel, Adam Bede, was a major success. To ensure her works were taken seriously, she used a male pen name, as female authors were often dismissed in her time. Her later works include The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Romola, Middlemarch, Daniel Deronda, and the psychological novella The Lifted Veil, which explores themes of clairvoyance, fate, and despair. Despite personal controversies, including her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes, Eliot became a respected literary and intellectual figure.
