As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as \'one of the few English novels written for adult people\'..
Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamund and pioneering medical methods threaten to undermine his career; and, the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past.
George Eliot\'s most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community.
