Title
George Eliot's New Novel [A Review of Middlemarch]
Description
- In commenting on George Eliot’s Middlemarch, this reviewer states the following: “This volume is the portrait of a woman. Other persons revolve about her, but, so far, Miss Brooke is the central and sustaining figure of the story, if story it can be called; for the narrative is of the slightest; incidents of a dramatic kind there are none—in fact, the book is a psychological study more than anything else, though we have, it is true, a very characteristic courtship and a marriage, the happiness or misery of which tantalisingly remains yet to be told.”
