Middlemarch [A Review]
Title
Middlemarch [A Review]
Description
- This reviewer states: "It was not difficult to foresee that Dorothea was to become Will Ladislaw's wife, and that Fred Vincy was to be fortunate beyond his deserts in winning Mary Garth. Nor was it to be expected that Dr and Mrs Lydgate would ever come to an open rupture, though the husband might, to the host, occasionally let slip a “bitter speech, which was more reasonable than the signs he made of his repentance.” This periodical continues to discuss the characters and relationships presented in Middlemarch. It addresses George Eliot’s ability to write detailed character development while providing a realistic depiction of provincial life in England.
