At its heart, the novel follows the idealistic Dorothea Brooke, whose aspirations for a meaningful life are constrained by the social expectations of her era, alongside the ambitious young doctor Tertius Lydgate, whose reforming zeal is gradually worn down by compromise and marriage. With unrivalled psychological depth and moral intelligence, Eliot presents a panoramic portrait of English society — examining politics, religion, marriage, and the nature of human ambition. This Oxford University Press edition includes an introduction by R. M. Hewitt, providing scholarly context for one of the greatest novels in the English language. Widely regarded as the pinnacle of the realist novel, Middlemarch rewards readers with its compassionate wisdom and richly rendered world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956118696155,"sku":"2026200010904-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/78b3fcbd-2d81-4b9d-8b15-d58f04065212.png?v=1783497933","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010904-secondhand-middlemarch-a-study-of-provincial-life","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
