Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life

"Middlemarch: A Study of Life in the Provinces" is a novel by the English writer George Eliot (pseudonym Mary Ann Evans), first published in 1871-1872. This is one of the most significant works of Victorian literature, characterized by the breadth of coverage and depth of psychological analysis.

The novel is set in the fictional English town of Middlemarch in the early 1830s, against the backdrop of social and political changes caused by reforms and industrialization. At the center of the story are several storylines intertwined around the lives of various characters, among which Dorothea Brooke and Tertlius Lydgate stand out.

The novel examines how personal choices and social norms interact and shape people's destinies, creating a complex picture of provincial life. It is considered a masterpiece of English literature and one of the most insightful social chronicles of its time.
