Истории Middlemarch

Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by the English author George Eliot, first published in eight installments (volumes) during 1871-72. The novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during 1829-32, and it comprises several distinct (though intersecting) stories and a large cast of characters. Significant themes include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Although containing comical elements, Middlemarch is a work of realism that refers to many historical events: the 1832 Reform Act, the beginnings of the railways, the death of King George IV, and the succession of his brother, the Duke of Clarence (the future King William IV). In addition, the work incorporates contemporary medical science and examines the deeply reactionary mindset found within a settled community facing the prospect of unwelcome change.

Middlemarch, a nineteenth-century Victorian novel authored by Mary Ann Evans under the pseudonym of George Eliot, tells of the wonderfully dramatic and intertwined lives of several well-crafted characters. "How a Wife Should Be" provides an interpretation into how two of these characters--Tertius and Rosamond--have lived their lives together well after the events in Middlemarch. In an effort to mix the writing styles of both Eliot and Gabriels, this telling epilogue-of-sorts sticks to the facts and some direct quotes from the original story while perhaps offering a bit of a twist. Fans of the novel will surely love this new perspective and notice even the smallest of details leading back to the very beginning.
