#GeorgeEliot’s Middlemarch is the Mount Everest of Victorian fiction. A book so brilliant that it’s taken us a year of planning to take it on. But as we close out 2025, we’ve established our Middlemarch base camp and started the climb. Join the book club: www.secretlifeofbooks.org/book-club

A special save from #Twitter: At #GeorgeEliot's grave in 2017. Was sad to see the grave so unkempt but didn't stop me from sitting down beside her for quite awhile. What a genius she was.

#GeorgeEliot's politics were conservative. Eliot believed that to be defiantly radical was to upset society. She believed in a much more conservative political agenda — one of a gradual and slow reform, rather not revolution, which she felt led to grandstanding and acts of egotistical heroism.

⭐ In #GeorgeEliot's Middlemarch, every major character is stuck in a labyrinth, the labyrinth of Middlemarch... and they keep getting lost and taking the wrong turns.
#SecretLifeOfBooks #BookSky
labyrinthine imagery in George Eliot's Middlemarch There’s this whole layer going on in Middlemarch of George Eliot using labyrinthine imagery. [...] In fact, every major character is stuck in a labyrinth. They keep getting lost and taking wrong turns. Similarly, the Minotaur, the monster at the centre of the labyrinth: the hero is trying to find and slay and defeat this external presence [...] Casaubon is trying to do it by writing his book, Lydgate through his hospital, Will through his various undertakings, and so on. Yet, it invariably turns out that the Minotaur is this monster within the self, that everyone's in a labyrinth of their own mind, a labyrinth of their own making.
