Bedside table: 'Middlemarch' – because they're called classics for a reason - pressherald.com

"Members of our College Club Book Review have all just read 'Middlemarch,' a historic novel by a woman (Mary Ann Evans) many years ahead of her time in England, who herself had to pose as a male – George Eliot was her pen name – to get her novels published. (The book was published in 1871.) The situations she portrays bring into perspective the social mores of the fictional village of Middlemarch. The novel dramatizes in so many ways the effect of gender in everyday life, and Eliot beautifully portrays life and social stratum." – ELIZABETH BODNER, Kennebunk
