About the book

Middlemarch, subtitled A Study of Provincial Life, is a novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Ann Evans. It first appeared in eight parts in 1871 and 1872. Eliot set it some forty years earlier, from about 1829 to 1832, in a fictional Midlands town, in the years when new ideas in medicine, the coming of the railways and the struggle over the first Reform Bill were stirring provincial England.
