Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamund and pioneering medical methods threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as 'one of the few English novels written for adult people'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eliot, George","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44216065818914,"sku":"9780141199795","price":14.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":53601125531987,"sku":"XG80141199795","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":54582084206931,"sku":"XV80141199795","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/eliot-george-middlemarch-the-penguin-english-library-2012-paperback-9780141199795-58433379696979.jpg?v=1788969738","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/middlemarch-pb-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
