	SparkNotes: Middlemarch: Context
		Middlemarch is a novel of epic proportions, but it transforms the notion of an epic.
		Middlemarch's subtitle is "A Study of Provincial Life." This means that Middlemarch represents the lives of ordinary people, not the grand adventures of princes and kings.
		Middlemarch social relations are indeed like a web, but the web has no center.

	Amazon.com: Middlemarch (Penguin Classics): Books: George Eliot,Rosemary Ashton (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In Middlemarch she has written a book in which the ugly girl has not one, but two, ardent and faithful lifelong suitors; and the man who marries only for looks and deprecates female intelligence (Lydgate) gets his comeuppance by dying young, a failure, stuck with a wife who doesn't understand him.
		It is almost as if Eliot wished to place Middlemarch on a microscopic slide and then blow up the image to fit an IMAX screen, from which the reader could see, hear, and feel the images jump off the pages in unforgettably realistic power.
		The final judgment on MIDDLEMARCH is that it shows in a universe of detail and character delineation the interlocking lives of characters who suffer mightily, but in whose suffering fall short either of heroism or tragedy.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Middlemarch
		Middlemarch and its inhabitants are confronted with change, with all the corresponding fear and the excitement of the new.
		Surprising as it may seem from its quiet provincial status, Middlemarch proves a crucible test of character in which the selfish and the weak-willed are expelled as dross, while the industrious and altruistic are purified to attain new levels of radiance and clarity.
		But Middlemarch is not just three stories happening at the same time in roughly the same place, it is a consistent exploration of the way individuals (and communities) cope with change.

	Fatal Marriages in George Eliot's "Middlemarch": Analysis of Vocational Marriage of Women
		Middlemarch takes place in the years leading up to 1832, the year of the Reform Bill, and this bill was for the benefit of middle class men.
		As the Victorian world was a complex, multifaceted fast-paced arena, powered by industrial innovations and sweeping reforms that added many threads to the fabric of society, so, too, were novels that attempted to weave the spin-offs from the reforming blanket of Victorian England and cover the feelings and philosophies of that time period.
		Dorothea is the lamp for most of Middlemarchers, holding up an ideal for others, which is the cornerstone of her womanhood.

	The Novel: VI
		George Eliot always resisted the constraints and anxieties of writing in instalments, but Middlemarch was much longer than any of her earlier works.
		Rather than risk publication in four volumes, author and publisher were persuaded to side-step the circulating libraries by issuing the novel at two-monthly intervals, in eight half-volume parts at 5 shillings each.
		The experiment was a modest success: sales of each part, bound in 'attractive but not bookstallish' paper covers, amounted to over 5,000 copies; Mudie's threatened boycott of the novel failed to materialise; and Eliot found that part publication (in this relatively relaxed form) suited the complexity and scope of her story.

	James Luberda, "Unassuming Positions: Middlemarch, its Critics, and Positioning Theory"
		Middlemarch is a text particularly well-suited to this task, for both positioning theory and Eliot's novel are concerned with the construction of social reality.
		Fisher, in contrast, asserts that, in Middlemarch, “The self is the margin where it is in motion and transformation, just as the age is its transitions, and science is the frontiers of science” (192).
		Thus to see Middlemarch as anything less than an agent of the change it suggests needs be brought about, is to fail to see the real connection between positioning theory and the novel, between narratives in fiction and lived narratives.

		Although some found that the novelistic limits of Middlemarch frustrated both Eliot's plot and the possibilities of her characters, the vast majority of critics publishing in the 1880's recognized the novel's importance and were eager to award it and its author a high place in the literary canon.

	"Middlemarch" (1994) (mini)
		'Middlemarch', by George Eliot is, in my opinion, the greatest novel ever written because of the vastness of its scope, the many nuances, the intriguing characters, but above all the fact that it is so relevant to life and that its characters are perhaps some of the most human in all of literature.
		'Middlemarch' is almost like a soap opera, as it tells the very different lives of the inhabitants of a provincial town and it ingeniously intertwines these stories.
		Several other compelling characters such as Fred Vincy and Nicholas Bulstrode appear, as do many other fascinating stories, and as the novel progresses and the characters suffer disappointment, pain and disgrace, the different stories entwine and the characters lean on each other for support, leading to a powerful and moving climax.
