(4.2) | 14 / 1733 | Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life is exactly what it claims. Its multiple plots center around the inhabitants of a fictitious Midlands town and their evolving relationships to each other. It is critical of social class, ambition and marriage, and religion. It is commonly considered one of the masterpieces of English writing, and Virginia Woolf described it as "the magnificent book that, with all its imperfections, is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people".… (mehr) |

I am gobsmacked. The novel begins as an entertaining tale of a headstrong young Australian girl going to meet the world at boarding school. It gradually evolves into a subtle, simple, and stunningly real observation of the pressures of conformity and the intolerance of naïveté, which, when paired with a strong desire to be accepted, can lead to many and often rending responses in an imaginative young person.
Yet it is not a tragedy. I am left moved, affectionate, a little worried about the future, and yet joyful at the intactness of the protagonist's resilient soul.

Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa, has not smiled with some gentleness at the thought of the little girl waling forth one morning hand-in-hand with her still smaller brother, to go and seek martyrdom in the country of the Moors? (Prelude)  Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress. | |

Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress. Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them. What we call our despair is often only the painful eagerness of unfed hope. Riding was an indulgence which she allowed herself in spite of conscientious qualms; she felt that she enjoyed it in a pagan sensuous way, and always looked forward to renouncing it. Some discouragement, some faintness of the heart at the new real future which replaces the imaginary, is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotions of mankind. At that time the opinion existed that it was beneath a gentleman to write legibly, or with a hand in the least suitable to a clerk. Fred wrote the letters demanded in a hand as gentlemanly as that of any viscount or bishop of the day; the vowels were all alike and the consonants only distinguishable as turning up or down, the strokes had a blotted solidity and the letters disdained to keep the line -- in short, it was a manuscript of that venerable kind easy to interpret when you know beforehand what the writer means. Even while we are talking and meditating about the earth's orbit and the solar system, what we feel and adjust our movements to is the stable earth and the changing day. | |

But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

George Eliots virtuos komponierter Roman "Middlemarch" ist ein Meisterwerk realistischer Literatur: Mit ungeheurer erzählerischer Finesse entwirft er ein ebenso getreues wie dichtes Gesellschafts- und Sittenporträt der englischen Provinz im Viktorianischen England.
Dabei gelingt es Eliot auf spielerisch leichte und geradezu verblüffende Weise, ihren zahlreichen Haupt- und Nebenfiguren Leben einzuhauchen und den zeittypischen Kampf um Selbstbestimmung und soziale Teilhabe hautnah erfahrbar zu machen. Die stoffliche und stilistische Vielfalt von Eliots 1871/72 erschienenem Monumentalroman faszinieren bis heute.
Über den Autor
George Eliot, eig. Mary Ann Evans, wurde 1819 in Arbury Farm/Warwickshire geboren und starb 1880 in London. Die Autorin ist eine der bedeutendsten Vertreterinnen des psychologisch-sozialen Romans.
