À propos de cet audio
Middlemarch is considered one of the masterpieces of English fiction. Published in 1874, it is the seventh and penultimate novel by George Eliot. It pursues a number of underlying themes, including the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism and self-interest, religion and hypocrisy, political reform, and education.
Set in the fictitious Midlands town of Middlemarch during the period 1830 - 32 and subtitled "A Study of Provincial Life", the novel creates a concept of life and society confronting the scepticism that was taking over the age.
English novelist George Eliot (1819-1880), real name Mary Ann (Marian) Evans was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological perspicacity.

Best voice for the best novel
I thought I knew the greats nineteenth-century fiction. I revered Dickens, I adored Trollope.
"Middlemarch" was my first encounter with George Eliot, and I quickly realized that in her I was dealing with an altogether superior order of mind and pen. This is a book to own in a sturdy hardcover binding that won't fall apart with repeated readings.
This recording originally went out live on the radio in 1969, as forty-five episodes of the BBC's "A Book at Bedtime," and some of that "live" quality comes through in the form of occasional little errors (effortlessly remedied on the fly) and moments when it sounds as if a sneeze has been narrowly averted (This all *enhances* the spontaneous feeling of the reading.) Gabriel Woolf's voice, pacing, interpretation, and characterizations are absolutely perfect, and nothing attempted more recently even comes close. (When he made these broadcasts, Woolf was already himself a devoted admirer of Eliot's works.) I've listened again and again, with ever deeper enjoyment and appreciation.
