| middlemarch by george eliot free download: Middlemarch Book VII George Eliot, 2020-12-27 Mr. Farebrother was aware that Lydgate was a proud man, but having very little corresponding fibre in him-self, and perhaps too little care about personal dignity, except the dignity of not being mean or foolish, he could hardly allow enough for the way in which Lydgate shrank, as from a burn, from the utterance of any word about his private affairs. And soon after that conversation at Mr. Toller‟s, the Vicar learned something which made him watch the more eagerly for an opportunity of indi-rectly letting Lydgate know that if he wanted to open himself about any difficulty there was a friendly ear re-ady. |

| middlemarch by george eliot free download: George Eliot's Religious Imagination Marilyn Orr, 2018-02-15 George Eliot's Religious Imagination addresses the much-discussed question of Eliot’s relation to Christianity in the wake of the sociocultural revolution triggered by the spread of theories of evolution. The standard view is that the author of Middlemarch and Silas Marner “lost her faith” at this time of religious crisis. Orr argues for a more nuanced understanding of the continuity of Eliot’s work, as one not shattered by science, but shaped by its influence. Orr’s wide-ranging and fascinating analysis situates George Eliot in the fertile intellectual landscape of the nineteenth century, among thinkers as diverse as Ludwig Feuerbach, David Strauss, and Søren Kierkegaard. She also argues for a connection between George Eliot and the twentieth-century evolutionary Christian thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Her analysis draws on the work of contemporary philosopher Richard Kearney as well as writers on mysticism, particularly Karl Rahner. The book takes an original look at questions many believe settled, encouraging readers to revisit George Eliot’s work. Orr illuminates the creative tension that still exists between science and religion, a tension made fruitful through the exercise of the imagination. Through close readings of Eliot's writings, Orr demonstrates how deeply the novelist's religious imagination continued to operate in her fiction and poetry. |

| middlemarch by george eliot free download: My Life in Middlemarch Rebecca Mead, 2014-01-28 Rebecca Mead was a young woman in a coastal town of England when she first read George Eliot's Middlemarch. After gaining admission to Oxford, and moving to the United States to become a journalist, through several love affairs and then marriage and family, Rebecca Mead reread Middlemarch. The novel, which Virginia Woolf famously described as one of the few English novels written for grown-up people, offered Mead something that modern life and literature did not. In this wise and revealing work of biography, reporting, and memoir, Rebecca Mead leads the reader into the life that her favorite book made for her, as well as the many lives the novel has led since it was written. Employing a structure that perfectly mirrors that of the novel, My Life in Middlemarch takes the themes of Eliot's novel and brings them into the world. Offering both a fascinating reading of Eliot's biography and an uncanny portrait of the ways in which Mead's life echoes that of the author herself, My Life in Middlemarch is a book for who wonders about the power of literature to shape our lives. |

| middlemarch by george eliot free download: The Science of Character S. Pearl Brilmyer, 2022-01-11 In 1843, the Victorian political theorist John Stuart Mill outlined a new science, the science of the formation of character. Although Mill's proposal failed as scientific practice, S. Pearl Brilmyer shows that it survived in the work of Victorian novelists, who cultivated a narrative science of human nature. Brilmyer explores this characterological project in the work of such novelists as George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Olive Schreiner. Bringing to life Mill's unrealized dream of a science of character, Victorian realists used fiction to investigate the nature of embodied experience, how traits and behaviors in human and nonhuman organisms emerge and develop, and how aesthetic features-shapes, colors, and gestures-come to take on cultural meaning through certain categories, such as race and sex. In the hands of these authors, Brilmyer argues, literature became a science, not in the sense that its claims were falsifiable or even systematically articulated, but in its commitment to uncovering, through a fictional staging of realistic events, the universal laws governing human life. The Science of Character offers brilliant insights into important novels of the period, including Eliot's Middlemarch, and a fuller picture of English realism during the crucial span between 1870 and 1920-- |
| middlemarch by george eliot free download: Middlemarch Adam Roberts, 2021-03-31 In Middlemarch, George Eliot draws a character passionately absorbed by abstruse allusion and obscure epigraphs. Casaubon’s obsession is a cautionary tale, but Adam Roberts nonetheless sees in him an invitation to take Eliot’s use of epigraphy and allusion seriously, and this book is an attempt to do just that. Roberts considers the epigraph as a mirror that refracts the meaning of a text, and that thus carries important resonances for the way Eliot’s novels generate their meanings. In this lively and provoking study, he tracks down those allusions and quotations that have hitherto gone unidentified by scholars, examining their relationship to the text in which they sit to unfurl a broader argument about the novel – both this novel, and the novel form itself. Middlemarch: Epigraphs and Mirrors is both a study of George Eliot and a meditation on the textuality of fiction. It is essential reading for specialists and students of George Eliot, the nineteenth century novel, and intertextuality. It will also richly reward anyone who has ever taken pleasure in Middlemarch. |

| middlemarch by george eliot free download: George Eliot and Nineteenth-Century Psychology Michael Davis, 2016-12-05 In his study of Eliot as a psychological novelist, Michael Davis examines Eliot's writings in the context of a large volume of nineteenth-century scientific writing about the mind. Eliot, Davis argues, manipulated scientific language in often subversive ways to propose a vision of mind as both fundamentally connected to the external world and radically isolated from and independent of that world. In showing the alignments between Eliot's work and the formulations of such key thinkers as Herbert Spencer, Charles Darwin, T. H. Huxley, and G. H. Lewes, Davis reveals how Eliot responds both creatively and critically to contemporary theories of mind, as she explores such fundamental issues as the mind/body relationship, the mind in evolutionary theory, the significance of reason and emotion, and consciousness. Davis also points to important parallels between Eliot's work and new and future developments in psychology, particularly in the work of William James. In Middlemarch, for example, Eliot demonstrates more clearly than either Lewes or James the way the conscious self is shaped by language. Davis concludes by showing that the complexity of mind, which Eliot expresses through her imaginative use of scientific language, takes on a potentially theological significance. His book suggests a new trajectory for scholars exploring George Eliot's representations of the self in the context of science, society, and religious faith. |
| middlemarch by george eliot free download: Selected Essays, Poems and Other Writings A. S. Byatt, George Eliot, 2005-04-07 The works collected in this volume provide an illuminating introduction to George Eliot's incisive views on religion, art and science, and the nature and purpose of fiction. Essays such as 'Evangelical Teaching' show her rejecting her earlier religious beliefs, while 'Woman in France' questions conventional ideas about female virtues and marriage, and 'Notes on Form in Art' sets out theories of idealism and realism that she developed further in Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda. It also includes selections from Eliot's translations of works by Strauss and Feuerbach that challenged many ideas about Christianity; excerpts from her poems; and reviews of writers such as Wollstonecraft, Goethe and Browning. Wonderfully rich in imagery and observations, these pieces reveal the intellectual development of this most challenging and rewarding of writers. |

| middlemarch by george eliot free download: Middlemarch George Eliot, 2019-11-25T23:51:50Z “George Eliot” was the pen-name of Mary Ann Evans, one of the greatest of English novelists of the Victorian era. Her long novel Middlemarch, subtitled A Study of Provincial Life, is generally considered to be her finest work. Published in eight installments between 1871 and 1872, Middlemarch tells the intertwined stories of a variety of people living in the vicinity of the (fictional) midlands town of Middlemarch during the early 1830s, the time of the great Reform Act. The novel is remarkable for its realistic treatment of situation, character and relationships and also demonstrates its author’s accurate knowledge of political issues, medicine, politics, and rural economy. Yet it also includes several touches of humor. The novel’s main characters include: Dorothea Brooke, a religiously-inclined and very intelligent young woman who marries a much older man believing that she can assist him in his scholarly studies; Dr. Tertius Lydgate, a doctor who comes to Middlemarch to further his medical research and implement his ideas for treatment, but whose plans are thrown into disarray by an unwise marriage; Fred Vincy, an idle young man, the son of the town’s Mayor, who gets into a mire of debt; and several others. The initial reception of the novel by critics was mixed, with a number of unfavorable reviews, but its reputation has grown through time and Middlemarch is now generally considered to be one of the best novels ever written in English.

This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errorsMiss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown intorelief by poor dress. Her hand and wrist were so finely formed thatshe could wear sleeves not less bare of style than those in which theBlessed Virgin appeared to Italian painters; and her profile as well asher stature and bearing seemed to gain the more dignity from her plaingarments, which by the side of provincial fashion gave her theimpressiveness of a fine quotation from the Bible,--or from one of ourelder poets,--in a paragraph of to-day's newspaper. She was usuallyspoken of as being remarkably clever, but with the addition that hersister Celia had more common-sense. Nevertheless, Celia wore scarcelymore trimmings; and it was only to close observers that her dressdiffered from her sister's, and had a shade of coquetry in itsarrangements; for Miss Brooke's plain dressing was due to mixedconditions, in most of which her sister shared. The pride of beingladies had something to do with it: the Brooke connections, though notexactly aristocratic, were unquestionably good: if you inquiredbackward for a generation or two, you would not find any yard-measuringor parcel-tying forefathers--anything lower than an admiral or aclergyman; and there was even an ancestor discernible as a Puritangentleman who served under Cromwell, but afterwards conformed, andmanaged to come out of all political troubles as the proprietor of arespectable family estate. Young women of such birth, living in aquiet country-house, and attending a village church hardly larger thana parlor, naturally regarded frippery as the ambition of a huckster'sdaughter. Then there was well-bred economy, which in those days madeshow in dress the first item to be deducted from, when any margin wasrequired for expenses more distinctive of rank. Such reasons wouldhave been enough to account for plain dress, quite apart from religiousfeeling; but in Miss Brooke's case, religion alone would havedetermined it; and Celia mildly acquiesced in all her sister'ssentiments, only infusing them with that common-sense which is able toaccept momentous doctrines without any eccentric agitation. Dorotheaknew many passages of Pascal's Pensees and of Jeremy Taylor by heart;and to her the destinies of mankind, seen by the light of Christianity,made the solicitudes of feminine fashion appear an occupation forBedlam. She could not reconcile the anxieties of a spiritual lifeinvolving eternal consequences, with a keen interest in gimp andartificial protrusions of drapery. Her mind was theoretic, and yearnedby its nature after some lofty conception of the world which mightfrankly include the parish of Tipton and her own rule of conduct there;she was enamoured of intensity and greatness, and rash in embracingwhatever seemed to her to have those aspects; likely to seek martyrdom,to make retractations, and then to incur martyrdom after all in aquarter where she had not sought it. Certainly such elements in thecharacter of a marriageable girl tended to interfere with her lot, andhinder it from being decided according to custom, by good looks,vanity, and merely canine affection. With all this, she, the elder ofthe sisters, was not yet twenty, and they had both been educated, sincethey were about twelve years old and had lost their parents, on plansat once narrow and promiscuous, first in an English family andafterwards in a Swiss family at Lausanne, their bachelor uncle andguardian trying in this way to remedy the disadvantages of theirorphaned condition.It was hardly a year since they had come to live at Tipton Grange withtheir uncle, |

| middlemarch by george eliot free download: 영어고전1047 조지 엘리엇의 미들마치Ⅰ 1871(English Classics1047 Middlemarch by George Eliot) 조지 엘리엇(George Eliot, 1819~1880), 2023-06-30 ▶ 미들마치 1871(Middlemarch by George Eliot)은 조지 엘리엇의 원숙한 6번째 소설이자 대표작인 동시에 영국에서도 손꼽히는 걸작(her best work and one of the great English novels)으로 인정받는 작품입니다. 1871년부터 1872년까지 윌리엄 블랙우드 앤 선(William Blackwood & Sons)에서 무려 여덟 권(Book), 78장(Prelude + 76 Chapter + Finale)의 방대한 분량으로 출간하였습니다. 19세기 영국에서는 소설이 독자들의 관심사와 적절한 가격을 감안해 대체로 3권으로 출간되었기 때문에 작가의 입장에서도, 출판사의 입장에서도 8권이란 막대한 분량은 적지 않은 부담이었습니다. 현대에는 조지 엘리엇의 대표작으로, 그녀의 작품 중 가장 많이 번역되었고, 가장 쉽게 구매할 수 있는 작품이기도 하지만, 동시에 압도적인 분량으로 인하여 조지 엘리엇 입문자의 가장 큰 장벽이기도 합니다. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics)과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! B ▶ 미들마치(Middlemarch)는 여주인공 이름이 아니라, 부제 시골 생활의 연구(A Study of Provincial Life)에서 짐작할 수 있듯 영국 어딘가에 위치한 가상의 농촌 마을을 뜻하는 지명입니다. 1829년부터 1832년 사이, 영국의 시골마을 미들마치(Middlemarch)를 배경으로, 여섯 명의 남녀 – 19세 고아 소녀 도로시아 브룩(Dorothea Brooke)과 목사 에드워드 캐소본(Edward Casaubon), 의사 테르티우스 리드게이트(Tertius Lydgate)와 마을 시장의 아들 로저먼드 빈치(Rosamond Vincy), 그리고 간호사 메리 가쓰(Mary Garth)와 마을 시장의 아들 프레드 빈치(Fred Vincy) 등 여러 군상이 등장합니다. ▶ “Young ladies don’t understand political economy, you know,” said Mr. Brooke, smiling towards Mr. Casaubon. “I remember when we were all reading Adam Smith. There is a book, now. I took in all the new ideas at one time—human perfectibility, now. But some say, history moves in circles; and that may be very well argued; I have argued it myself. The fact is, human reason may carry you a little too far—over the hedge, in fact.” ▷ 젊은 여성들은 정치 경제를 이해하지 못합니다.라고 브룩 씨가 카소본 씨를 향해 웃으며 말했습니다. 저는 우리 모두가 아담 스미스를 읽었을 때를 기억합니다. 지금 책이 있습니다. 저는 모든 새로운 아이디어를 한 번에 받아들였습니다. 인간의 완벽함 말입니다. 하지만 어떤 사람들은 역사가 원을 그리며 움직인다고 말합니다. 그리고 그것은 매우 잘 주장될 수 있습니다. 저는 그것을 스스로 주장해왔습니다. 사실은, 인간의 이성이 여러분을 약간 지나칠 수도 있다는 것입니다. 사실은, 울타리를 넘어요.” ▶ 그들이 서로 만나 사랑하고, 싸우는 사랑 이야기를 중심으로 당대 영국의 제1차 선거법 개정안(The First Reform Bill), 철도의 초기 부설(early railways), 윌리엄 4세의 즉위(the accession of King William IV) 등과 같은 역사적인 사건과 종교와 위선, 유산 상속을 둘러싼 갈등, 여성 문제 등 평범한 소시민들의 삶을 때론 풍자적으로, 때론 적나라하게 그려냈습니다. ▶ 작품에서 가장 눈여겨봐야할 캐릭터는 의미 있는 삶을 갈망하고 세상을 변화시키고 싶어 하는 지적이고 이상주의적인 젊은 여성 도로시아 브룩(Dorothea Brooke)입니다. 그녀는 학식을 갖췄으나 자신보다 나이가 많은 에드워드 캐소본(Edward Casaubon)과 결혼하기를 바라지만, 그녀는 곧 깨닫게 됩니다. 그와의 결혼은 그녀가 상상하던 사랑과 연애와는 전혀 무관한 길이라는 것을……. ▶ MY DEAR MR. CASAUBON,—I am very grateful to you for loving me, and thinking me worthy to be your wife. I can look forward to no better happiness than that which would be one with yours. If I said more, it would only be the same thing written out at greater length, for I cannot now dwell on any other thought than that I may be through life. Yours devotedly, DOROTHEA BROOKE. ▷ 친애하는 카소본 씨,—저를 사랑해주시고, 제가 당신의 아내가 될 자격이 있다고 생각해주셔서 감사합니다. 저는 당신과 함께하는 행복보다 더 좋은 행복을 기대할 수 없습니다. 내가 더 많이 말한다면, 그것은 단지 더 길게 쓰인 같은 것일 뿐입니다. 왜냐하면 나는 이제 내가 삶을 통해 있을지도 모른다는 것 이외의 다른 생각에 연연할 수 없기 때문입니다. 당신의 헌신적인 도로테아 브룩. ▶ 젊고 야심찬 의사 테르티우스 리드게이트(Tertius Lydgate)는 진보적인 아이디어와 의료 개혁의 꿈을 가지고 미들마치에 도착합니다. 부유한 마을 시장의 딸 로사몬드 빈치(Rosamond Vincy)는 학식과 재산을 갖춘 그를 통해 자신에 대한 낮은 평가를 극복하고자 하는데……. 재정적 어려움에 빠진 리드게이트의 곁에서 로사몬드는 자신의 허영심과 사회적 지위에 대한 갈구를 채울 수 없었습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 의학의 길을 걷고자 하는 리드게이트와 로사몬드는 과연 화합할 수 있을까요? ▶ “Still,” said Rosamond, “I do not think it is a nice profession, dear.” We know that she had much quiet perseverance in her opinion. “It is the grandest profession in the world, Rosamond,” said Lydgate, gravely. “And to say that you love me without loving the medical man in me, is the same sort of thing as to say that you like eating a peach but don’t like its flavor. Don’t say that again, dear, it pains me.” ▷ 그래도, 로사몬드가 말했습니다. 자기야, 나는 그것이 좋은 직업이라고 생각하지 않아요. 우리는 그녀가 그녀의 의견에 많은 조용한 인내심을 가지고 있었다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 리드게이트는 세상에서 가장 위대한 직업이야, 로사몬드.라고 엄숙하게 말했습니다. 그리고 당신이 내 안에 있는 의사를 사랑하지 않고 나를 사랑한다고 말하는 것은 복숭아를 먹는 것은 좋아하지만 복숭아의 맛을 좋아하지 않는다는 것과 같은 종류의 말이야. 다시는 그런 말 하지 마, 로사몬드, 그게 나를 괴롭혀. ▶ 번외적으로 1863년 윌리엄 메이크피스 새커리(William Makepeace Thackeray, 1811~1863), 1870년 찰스 디킨스(Charles John Huffam Dickens, 1812~1870)가 사망하면서, 그녀가 미들마치 1871을 출간할 당시 가장 위대한 생존한 영국 소설가(The greatest living English novelist)로 기록되었습니다. -목차(Index)- ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 1,999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 29가지 키워드로 읽는 조지 엘리엇(George Eliot, 1819~1880) 01. 조지 엘리엇이 여자?! 유명해진 이후에도 남성적인 필명을 고집한 19세기 영국의 여성 작가 01-1. 19세기 유럽에서 여성은 자신의 본명으로 작품을 출간할 수 없었나요?! 01-2. 19세기 유럽에서 활동한 여성작가의 필명(Pen Name) 01-3. 메리 앤 에번스는 자신의 작품이 독자들에게 ‘여성작가의 뻔한 로맨스’로 비춰지길 싫어했던 것 아닐까요? 01-4. 메리 앤 에번스는 그저 자신의 삶과 작가를 분리하고 싶었던 것 아닐까요? 02. 유부남과 24년간 동거한 후 61세의 나이로 21세 연하남과 결혼한 스캔들 메이커?! 03. 신데렐라 콤플렉스(Cinderella Complex)는 개나 줘버려! 04. 조지 엘리엇 작품 속 여주인공은 반드시 불행에 빠진다?! 05. 해럴드 블룸(Harold Bloom, 1930~2019)의 서구문학정전(The Western Canon)(1994) 15위 06. 해럴드 블룸(Harold Bloom, 1930~2019)의 세계문학의 천재들 사람이 알아야 할 모든 것(Genius : A Mosaic of One Hundred Exemplary Creative Minds, 2008) 제8장 VIII. 호드 Hod 위엄 07. 조지 엘리엇의 주요 작품(Works by George Eliot) 07-1. 조지 엘리엇의 목사의 생활 1857(Scenes of Clerical Life by George Eliot) 07-2. 조지 엘리엇의 아담 비드 1859(Adam Bede by George Eliot) 07-3. 조지 엘리엇의 벗겨진 베일 1859(The Lifted Veil by George Eliot) 07-4. 조지 엘리엇의 플로스 강변의 물방앗간 1860(The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot) & 톰과 매기 툴리버 1909(Tom and Maggie Tulliver by George Eliot) 07-5. 조지 엘리엇의 사일러스 매너 1861(Silas Marner by George Eliot) 07-6. 조지 엘리엇의 로몰라 1862(Romola by George Eliot) 07-7. 조지 엘리엇의 자콥의 형제 1864(Brother Jacob by George Eliot) 07-8. 조지 엘리엇의 진보주의자, 펠릭스 홀트 1866(Felix Holt, the Radical by George Eliot) 07-9. 조지 엘리엇의 리사가 왕을 사랑한 방법 1869(How Lisa Loved the King by George Eliot) 07-10. 조지 엘리엇의 미들마치 1871(Middlemarch by George Eliot) 07-11. 조지 엘리엇의 다니엘 데론다 1876(Daniel Deronda by George Eliot) 07-12. 조지 엘리엇의 테오프라스토스 서치의 인상 1879(Impressions of Theophrastus Such by George Eliot) 07-13. 조지 엘리엇의 조지 엘리엇 에세이 1883(The Essays of George Eliot by George Eliot) 07-14. 조지 엘리엇의 편지와 저널로 읽는 조지 엘리엇의 삶 3부작 1885(George Eliot's Life, as Related in Her Letters and Journals. by George Eliot) 08. 조지 엘리엇을 만날 수 있는 장소 TOP22(TOP22 Places to meet George Eliot) 09. 조지 엘리엇 원작의 영화·드라마 in IMDb 10. 오디오북으로 듣는 조지 엘리엇(Audio Books of George Eliot) 11. 조지 엘리엇 어록(George Eliot Quotes)(157) ▶ 조지 엘리엇의 미들마치Ⅰ 1871(Middlemarch by George Eliot) ▷ PRELUDE. ▷ BOOK I.
