Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by George Eliot,
the pen name of Mary Anne Evans, later Marian Evans. It is her
seventh novel, begun in 1869 and then put aside during the final
illness of Thornton Lewes, the son of her companion George Henry
Lewes. During the following year Eliot resumed work, fusing
together several stories into a coherent whole, and during 1871–72
the novel appeared in serial form. The first one-volume edition was
published in 1874, and attracted large sales. Subtitled "A Study of
Provincial Life," the novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town
of Middlemarch during the period 1830–32. It has multiple plots
with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct
though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying
themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage,
idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political
reform, and education. The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly
didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through
the narrative), and the canvas is very broad.
