Middlemarch | Book 1
Welcome to Middlemarch, Book One. In this first “reading” episode of Middlemarch, Rhea and Shari dive headlong into the world of early-1800’s provencial England. They spend a great amount of time discussing the story’s witty, critical, big-hearted narrator. They examine the text for understanding how they are meant to feel about Casaubon, though they already know exactly how they feel about Casaubon. They talk about Dorthea as viewed from various points of view—especially her sister, Celia’s. They look at where the narrator offers us a critical eye, a wide lens, and always a quick witt...

Middlemarch – A Moral Epic of Marriage, Vocation & Conscience | George Eliot (Classic Audiobook) Part 1
⭐ Catholic Star-Rated Critique Rating: ★★★★½ (4.5 / 5) Middlemarch stands as one of the greatest moral novels ever written, not for overt theology, but for its profound exploration of conscience, vocation, sacrifice, and the slow sanctification of ordinary life. George Eliot examines marriage, ambition, charity, and failure with an almost Thomistic seriousness—revealing how virtue is tested not in heroic gestures but in daily fidelity and humility. While Eliot herself stood outside orthodox Christianity, the novel resonates deeply with Catholic moral imagination: the dignity of duty, the consequences of pride, the redemptive power of self-giving love, and the quiet heroism of perseverance.

In the second episode of Middlemarch, Rupert and Charlie look at the timeless story of Bulstrode the banker and his downfall, and at the various groups of people - amongst them doctors, farmers, politicians, gossips and vicars, who make up Middlemarch society. How does Eliot merge the civic with the individual? How does she create a web of connection, and why do so many things happen twice? Does it matter if you're just an ordinary person trying to do your best? What would Eliot's reputation have been if she'd never written Middlemarch? And is it the greatest novel ever w...

The characters whose stories it tells are unforgettable - the lives of the ardent and empathetic Dorothea Brooke, the idealistic young doctor Tertius Lydgate and the evangelical and flawed banker Bulstrode are set against a backdrop of seismic change in society, politics, economics and science. But how does Eliot achieve such a panoramic sweep? How can ordinary people live a good life? How do we cope with disappointment and failure? What was provincial life like in the early 1830...

Mit George Eliots Wälzer Middlemarch von 1872 besprechen wir in dieser Folge nicht nur unser bisher ältestes, sondern mit 1198 (Deutsch) bzw. 896 Seiten (Englisch) auch unser längstes Buch. Diese "Studie über das Leben in der Provinz" bringt alles mit, was ein guter Schmöker braucht: ein bisschen will-they-won't they-Liebesgeschichte, ein bisschen Politroman, ein bisschen Gesellschaftsporträt, ein bisschen Dorfgossip, ein bisschen Intrigen. Am Ende ist jedoch Ende gut, alles gut und wir haben es uns nicht nehmen lassen, uns richtig fürs Durchhalten zu feiern (wer uns auf Istagram folgt, kennt die Memes).

Il miglior romanzo inglese? Middlemarch di George Eliot #MattonInglesi
Non è raro che Middlemarch venga presentato come il miglior romanzo dell’800 inglese ma anche come il più difficile e intellettualistico. Una reputazione, a dir poco, ingiusta. Non è affatto una lettura complicata – è una commedia di costume! - ma è certamente una lettura esigente, che richiede pazienza e tempo. Tanta pazienza e tanto tempo che verranno ampiamente ripagati dalla profondità e dalla ricchezza straordinaria di questo esperimento letterario che ha l’ambizione di racchiudere l’oceano della complessità umana in una goccia. Raccontare le più sottili finezze della psiche degli individui attraverso le vicende monotone e triviali di un piccolo paesotto della provincia inglese, per giu...

The Future of On-Chain Art Is... Off-Chain?!
If on-chain art is so great, why is it so difficult to right click save it? Yunks as an example: you don't even know what the canonical version to right click save is because it's different on different browsers. Piv offers the idea that maybe this is good! Middlemarch says the issue is that on-chain art "larps" by requiring a ton of off-resources to render, ultimately harming the "lasts forever" point. Some solutions are discussed. Later https://twitter.com/ScrillaVentura leads a fascinating discussion about the evolving social nature of NFTs in the context of a recent...

Better Read than Dead: Literature from a Left Perspective
Episode 101: Middlemarch, Part 2
We finish our conversation on George Eliot’s 1871-1872 behemoth Middlemarch with an in-depth discussion of the book as an historical novel and the historical contexts of its setting in the early 1830s. We all have different answers to how much we liked-liked reading this massive thing (Tristan is a big fan, Megan and Katie… less so), but we all loved Dorothea, and we did all legitimately love talking about this novel. AND we all agree that the scene where Mr Brooke gets rotten eggs thrown at him because he had one-too-many glasses of sherry before a campaign speech and...

Better Read than Dead: Literature from a Left Perspective
Episode 100: Middlemarch, Part 1
For our 100th episode (!!!), it’s only fitting we tackle a Big One. And George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1871-1872) is certainly that – literally (it’s SO MANY PAGES). Middlemarch tells the stories of several intersecting characters all trying in various ways to find meaning amid the alienation of industrial modernity, and we discuss epistemology, philosophy, gender, class and bourgeoisification, marriage, capital-H History, politics. This kind of is a novel about everything. Also, failsons abound! It wouldn’t be Better Read than Dead without failsons. Don’t forget to join us next week for Part Two! We read the Oxford e...

How to read a BIG book: an introduction to Middlemarch by George Eliot

This is a BIG book filled with lots of historical references and Eliot's signature attention to the smallest of details. It's also a cozy and thoughtful depiction of a small town that brings us relationships to root for, villains to hate, and characters we'll remember for a long time to come.

As a final bonus, they loop back around to "The Cinematic Eliot" to discuss who would excel at adapting the novel (Robert Altman?), with a brief cameo by Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life, which takes its title from the novel's last lines.
