{"product_id":"middlemarch-3","title":"Middlemarch","description":"\u003cp\u003ehe greatest 'state of the nation' novel in English, Middlemarch addresses ordinary life at a moment of great social change, in the years leading to the Reform Act of 1832. Through her portrait of a Midlands town, George Eliot addresses gender relations and class, self-knowledge and self-delusion, community and individualism. Eliot follows the fortunes of the town's central characters as they find, lose, and rediscover ideals and vocations in the world.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Through its psychologically rich portraits, the novel contains some of the great characters of literature, including the idealistic but naïve Dorothea Brooke, beautiful and egotistical Rosamund Vincy, the dry scholar Edward Casaubon, the wise and grounded Mary Garth, and the brilliant but proud Dr Lydgate. In its whole view of a society, the novel offers enduring insight into the pains and pleasures of life with others, and explores nearly every subject of concern to modern life:. art, religion, science, politics, self, society, and, above all, human relationships.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e This edition uses the definitive Clarendon text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: UK, 2019\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 864\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9780198815518\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 0198815518\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"George Eliot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175492739338,"sku":"","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9780198815518.jpg?v=1707390434","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/middlemarch-3","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
