What would happen if I stopped to consider how Middlemarch has shaped my understanding ofmy own life? Why did the novel still feel so urgent, after all these years? And what could it giveme now, as I paused here in the middle of things, and surveyed where I had come from, andthought about where I was, and wondered where I might go next?
At the age of 17, Rebecca Mead read Middlemarch for the first time, and has read it again everyfive years since, interpreting and discovering it anew each time. In The Road to Middlemarchshe writes passionately about her relationship with this remarkable Victorian novel-loved by somany-and explores how its characters and their stories, along with George Eliot's own lifeexperiences, can answer some of our fundamental questions about life and love.
Written when Eliot was 51, Middlemarch has at its centre one of literature's most compelling andill-fated marriages, and some of the most tenderly drawn characters-their most intimatestruggles, their ambitions, dreams, and attachments. Mead interweaves her own reflections onadolescence, relationships and marriage to explore how Middlemarch teaches us to begrown-ups, and to value the limitations of our ordinary lives. The Road to Middlemarch is a sensitive work of deep reading and biography, for every reader of literature who cares about why we read books and how they read us.
