Middlemarch
A Study of Provincial Life
Setting and Time Period
This novel is set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830-32.
Plot and Characters
It has a multiple plot with a large cast of characters, and in addition to its distinct though interlocking narratives it pursues a number of underlying themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education.
Tone and Style
The pace is leisurely, the tone is mildly didactic (with an authorial voice that occasionally bursts through the narrative), and the canvas is very broad.
