HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbours.' An epic study of provincial life at a time when England was facing rapid industrialization and increasingly fluid social mobility, Eliot's depiction of the small community of Middlemarch weaves an intricate web of different characters disparate lives as they strive to adapt to the changing world around them. Eliot was one of the first of her female contemporaries to write a novel that dealt with real-life issues and complex yet ordinary human life.
Collins Classics這個版本是便宜,排版與拼寫舛錯之處倒不少(對比Norton Critical版本)。 不過迴到作品本身,確實值得一讀。George Eliot對道德(即如何與他人相處,調和個體追求及特質與社會規約及的矛盾)的關注使得小說幾近成為一本倫理大片,讀起來很沉重,並不輕鬆,不若將副標題改成What's the Right Thing to Do????? 作者站在全知視角充分挖掘角色的心理,因而幾乎對每個人都是充滿理解與同情的(盡管不乏Jane Austen式一針見血的譏刺反諷,但不尖酸刻薄,而是帶著同情的戲謔)。這點與作者的道德關切相契閤,即需盡量理解同情他人,將一種以鄰人為友的歸屬感(以感情為理性指導)作為道德判斷的基礎(不然,為瞭私欲什麼道德選擇不能用理性自洽呢)。
