With its complex characters, intricate plot, and insightful social commentary, Middlemarch is considered one of the greatest works of English literature.Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress. Her hand and wrist were so finely formed that she could wear sleeves not less bare of style than those in which the Blessed Virgin appeared to Italian painters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
