Middlemarch is a recognized masterpiece that explores the complex social world of 19th century England. It is concerned with the lives of several ordinary people, albeit ones with high social standing. The novel explores the very fabric of Victorian society in the 1800s, showing how various human passions, heroism, egotism, love, and lust, interrelate within this society.

Middlemarch, Kate Reading
Reviewed: 05-15-08
The books itself is a reflection on the transition from the ancient world to the modern society, with a characteristically modern emphasis on individual characters and their circumstances. The narrator is great! Her reading is fluid and nuanced. Kate Reading is able to bring the novel's characters to life in subtle ways. I highly recommend this.
