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.

“Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people”
—Virginia Woolf

“The most profound, wise and absorbing of English novels . . . and, above all, truthful and forgiving about human behaviour.”
—Hermione Lee

"No Victorian novel approaches Middlemarch in its width of reference, its intellectual power, or the imperturbable spaciousness of its narrative...I doubt if any Victorian novelist has as much to teach the modern novelists as George Eliot...No writer has ever represented the ambiguities of moral choice so fully".
—V. S. Pritchett

"Middlemarch is probably the greatest English novel."
—Julian Barnes

"It is possible to argue that Middlemarch is the greatest English novel."
—A. S. Byatt

 

"Certainly the greatest [English] novel."
—Martin Amis
