Synopsis

The In Her Own Name series is proud to present the first of its publications by notable female authors published under the author's own name, many of whom felt compelled for various reasons to assume a male pseudonym in order to enhance their credibility and the economic viability of their works. Mary Ann Evans wrote under the pen name of George Eliot for her entire literary career. Now we are able to enjoy her great masterpiece, Middlemarch, presented as it should have been more than 100 years ago. In her own name! The novel is set in a fictitious English Midlands community and follows the lives, the conflicts, the marriages, the choices, the impact of religious and social mores on the several distinct and closely observed characters in the story. The story centers on four major story lines and how the lives of the characters intersect amidst a time of social change. What choices will the various characters make? Will they marry for love, or financial security? What of the status of women in this society? Does that give them true choice, or are their paths constrained by their culture and their beliefs? Read this fascinating, deeply and finely observed story of the intersecting lives of the many people who inhabit the world of Middlemarch.This edition is published with illustrations and an introduction.
