Middlemarch is a novel by George Eliot, first published in 1871–72. The story is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830–32, and follows the intertwined lives of its various inhabitants. The novel explores themes of marriage, ambition, politics, and the role of women in society. Considered one of the most important works of English literature, Middlemarch provides a deep and insightful look into life in Victorian England.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
