Middlemarch cover

Often considered George Eliot's finest novel, Middlemarch is a masterpiece of literary realism. This is the first edition of the novel to be published with full critical apparatus since it appeared in 1871-2. It records all the variants in the main edition as well as many of the deletions in the manuscript. The introduction traces the history of composition, publication, and revision.

'David Carroll has overcome with great success the problems besetting a modern editor of the novel.' Rosemary Ashton, Review of English Studies
