Samenvatting:

Eliot's most comprehensive study of provincial British life.

Middlemarch follows the novel's central characters Dorothea and Lydgate as they both respectively quest to find heroism in everyday deeds and gestures. Dorothea Brooke, a young woman of impeccable character, marries the embittered Mr. Casaubon, who almost immediately dies. Eliot takes the reader through a labyrinth of nineteenth-century morals and conventions as Dorothea searches for fulfillment and happiness. Their stories intermingle in many vital ways, resulting in an account that is both moving and thought-provoking.
The audio is read by highly-acclaimed British actress Hannah Gordon.
