| Publisher Description: In this involving work--part literary essay, part memoir--Pamela Erens describes the ways in which George Eliot's masterpiece moved, inspired and shaped her as a young woman, as a mother, and above all as a novelist. Thoughtful, frank and always artful, Middlemarch and the Imperfect Life is a deeply satisfying account of the reading and writing life.--Rebecca Mead Voted the twenty-first best novel of all the time by The Guardian, Middlemarch is considered perhaps the greatest Victorian novel of all the time, praised by writers from Emily Dickinson to Virginia Woolf. George Eliot's ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of life in a provincial English community. In the latest volume in Ig's acclaimed Bookmarked series, critically lauded author Pamela Erens talks about how Middlemarch rescued" her, first as a distressed college student, and then during the tragic events of the global pandemic. |
