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.
Broadview Press and editor Gregory Maertz have produced a text whose rich but judicious contextual annotation, notably highlighting Eliot's deep immersion in German culture, makes this a crucial edition of what is arguably the greatest Victorian novel of them all" - Michael McKeon, Rutgers University

"Gregory Maertz's fine new edition of Middlemarch allows readers to consider the novel in relation to a range of documents—reviews and other writings by George Eliot, contemporary reviews of the novel, and contextual material. This additional material both enriches our reading of the novel and its concerns and expands our knowledge of the period." - Mark Turner, King's College London
