About this Item

Description:

New York: John B. Alden, 1883. New Edition. Octavo. 761pp. Bound in publisher's brown cloth decorated in black and gilt with "Caxton Edition" motif to front and spine; light brown endpapers. Corner bumped; light wear to extremities; rippling, presumably from heat, along center of spine with small patch to front and rear panels. Binding sound and pages unmarked. Very Good. One of many American one-volume editions published in the 1880s following the Harper editions of 1872-1873. Virginia Woolf called Eliot's masterpiece, "the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.". Seller Inventory # 32957

Paperback. Condition: Good. Paperback Edition. "Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life" by George Eliot. This is a 1965 Penguin Books paperback edition of Eliot's enduring Victorian classic, presented in good condition.George Eliot's masterful novel, "Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life," explores a fictional nineteenth-century Midlands town in the midst of modern changes. The proposed Reform Bill promises political change; the building of railroads alters both the physical and cultural landscape; new scientific approaches to medicine incite public division; and scandal lurks behind respectability. The quiet drama of ordinary lives and flawed choices are played out in the complexly portrayed central characters of the novel?the idealistic Dorothea Brooke; the ambitious Dr. Lydgate; the spendthrift Fred Vincy; and the steadfast Mary Garth. The appearance of two outsiders further disrupts the town's equilibrium?Will Ladislaw, the spirited nephew of Dorothea's husband, the Rev. Edward Casaubon, and the sinister John Raffles, who threatens to expose the hidden past of one of the town's elite. Middlemarch displays George Eliot's clear-eyed yet humane understanding of characters caught up in the mysterious unfolding of self-knowledge. Seller Inventory # SCAN-14-D05BBDA3
