Book Review

George Eliot's «Middlemarch» is often regarded by critics as one of the greatest novels in the English language. The book deeply explores the social, political, and personal aspects of life in a provincial English town in the early 19th century. Eliot masterfully creates complex, multifaceted characters, each facing their own moral and ethical dilemmas. Critics note that the novel stands out for its psychological depth and realism, as well as the author's ability to blend personal stories with broader social issues. Special attention is given to the heroine Dorothea Brooke, whose idealism and quest for self-development inspire admiration and empathy. «Middlemarch» is also praised for its rich language and structural complexity, making it a work that demands thoughtful reading and analysis.
