Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life [A Review]

Title

Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life [A Review]

Description

  • "George Eliot has never displayed more imaginative and intellectual power than in this her latest and, in some important respects, her richest tale. There is more passion and more lofty conception in 'Adam Bede,' more affluence of the provincial grotesques of English rural life in 'The Mill on the Floss,' more beauty in 'Silas marner,' more curious intellectual subtlety in 'Romola.'"
