George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871-72) is one of the classic novels of English literature and was admired by Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people." The complex main plot and many subplots revolve around Dorothea Brooke, an ardent young woman, and her relationship to three men: Casaubon, a clergyman and scholar twice her age; Lydgate, an ambitious young doctor who shares Dorothea's enthusiasm for reform but whose flaws compromise his ambitions; and Will Ladislaw, a young man of mysterious origins, romantic temperament, and artistic inclinations. A female Bildungsroman and a study of character and society in the realistic mode pioneered by Balzac, Middlemarch is also an historical novel that offers a panorama of English society in an era of social reform and political agitation. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a rich selection of contextual materials, including contemporary reviews of the novel, other writings by George Eliot (essays, reviews, and criticism), and historical documents pertaining to medical reform, religious freedom, and the advent of the railroads.
Worldly Of, or relating to the human world, not of heaven;of ordinary life,rather than religious or spiritual matters. 字面上意思已经出来了:此世,非彼世。 说人worldly-wise可真不是什么好词。聪明、机智、通达人情世故,但总透着一股“俗”气--- Having a lot ...
评分好久没看过这种静水深流的故事了。过了第一二章,后面就被作者牵着走了。这种牵引不仅靠情节,也靠观点与形象,让人只能亦步亦趋,边看边想。 在艾略特的年代,小说在人民文娱生活中的地位,应该和如今的电视剧是一样的。因此,不管作者是否有别的企图,让普通读者喜闻乐见仍...
评分本书开始于1829年,次年担任过摄政王的英王乔治四世去世。王位更迭带来的政治变动也影响到了小镇米德尔马契,双元革命的巨大影响也使女性不甘于附庸于男性。多萝西娅和罗莎蒙德的婚姻都是“幻灭”,嫁给了她们其实根本就不了解的男人,期望中的婚后生活一一破灭,没有选择与无...
评分以下是看完比较印象深刻的几点: 1、全书最喜欢的一个人物,高思太太。她有一种罕见的理性,善于识别什么是不可改变的,因而毫无怨言地服从了事。在高思先生因为担保而损失一笔还蛮重要的钱之后,高思太太第一反应不是歇斯底里、埋怨,而是想解决办法,这件事过后再进行教育。...
三天看完。我进步了。
评分也是,致郁。
评分三天看完。我进步了。
评分我相信每一个人都真实地活在Middlemarch,祝愿希望永不落空但人生也不要重来
评分In the middle of the march. 盛年的六位主角.三年的生活片段,怎么会如此地崇高呢?Dorothea的责任感和Garth的择偶观,呼应了小说深厚的道德观和艾略特自己的体验.角色匆匆寻找的,都是日常生活中的救赎.Dorothea需要Will;Lydgate需要Rose;婚姻的煎熬打破了奥斯丁以降的幸福神话.Featherstone的死和Bulstrode的罪行,勾结的是遗嘱和回忆摧枯拉朽的力量.
