Middlemarch by George Eliot

George Eliots mest ambiti sa roman Middlemarch r en komplex ber ttelse om idealism, lojalitet och uppslitande k rlek. I en engelsk sm stad under 1800-talets f rsta h lft f r vi f lja den unga idealisten Dorothea Brooke som r olyckligt gift, och den charmige men taktl se Dr Tertius Lydgate som ven han har problem p det ktenskapliga planet. Det r ett f rgstarkt och r rande drama som hyllades av Virginia Woolf som l r ha sagt att det var en av f engelska romaner skriven f r vuxna m nniskor. I original vers ttning av A. G. Engberg George Eliot, pseudonym f r Mary Anne Evans, var under sin livstid en av Storbritanniens fr msta f rfattare. Hon valde sin pseudonym efter sin f rebild Georges Sand.
"No Victorian novel approaches Middlemarch in its width of reference, its intellectual power, or the imperturbable spaciousness of its narrative"
--V. S. Pritchett
