George Eliot · 1872 · Literary fiction
A young idealist marries the wrong man; a reforming doctor marries the wrong woman. George Eliot weaves multiple storylines across a provincial English town in the 1830s, examining how circumstance and character conspire to frustrate intelligent people. Often called the greatest English novel — and not without justification.
