Middlemarch
Tuesdays, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. (six sessions)
$250
Virginia Woolf described George Eliot’s Middlemarch as “one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.” Widely considered Eliot’s masterpiece, the novel follows the interwoven lives of the inhabitants of a provincial English town. Threading together stories of love, betrayal, failed marriages, romantic idealism, and frustrated ambition, Eliot creates a microcosm of nineteenth-century life that speaks to universal, enduring concerns and experiences. Middlemarch is that rare thing: a novel of ideas and a compelling, human narrative.
