À propos de cet audio

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Dorothea Brooke is an outstanding heroine; Middlemarch is filled with characters that are vivid and true, comic and moving. It is one of the greatest novels in the English language.

George Eliot is my new literary icon, up in the firmament with Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Bronte, Jean Rhys, and Carson McCullers. This book is so full of humanity and intelligence— I think I will carry it with me for the rest of my days. Juliet Stevenson’s performance is an absolute tour de force— the best I’ve encountered.
I’m gutted it’s over.

Marvellous!

I think Juliet Stevenson did a wonderful job narrating this book as it wouldn't have been easy. I enjoyed this book.

Well narrated

This highly praised novel did not disappoint. The author’s insight into social issues around the time of the 1832 Reform Act is remarkable. Although she wrote it forty years after that time, she was writing about the area she grew up in and her knowledge of it shows. I can hardly wait to listen to more books by the same author and reader.

Beautifully read classic.

This is one of my favourite books. The characters and the story are portrayed with elegance and in beautiful detail. I will never tire of this story. And Juliet Stevenson’s narration is brilliant!

A masterpiece masterfully narrated

I read this many years ago, and remembered enjoying it, but not a whole lot more about it than that. I decided to listen to it this time, and it was great. I loved Juliet Stevenson's narration; she moved among the different characters with different voices, seemingly without effort. And I really enjoyed the story. I think you do need to be tuned to the pace of a 19th century novel, which definitely moves more slowly and deliberately than modern fiction. But, I just loved all the sly observations from the author throughout the story, quite funny. And the depth of perception into the characters was very moving, particularly Bulstrode and Lydgate. First rate.

very entertaining

Middlemarch is one of the greatest novels written in any language- how fortunate we are that it was written in English- and this performance by Juliet Stevenson is full of wit, passion and tenderness.

I loved loved loved this book! The story, the characters, and the language were all superb. Juliet Stevenson did the most incredible job reading this book. It was an absolute pleasure to listen too.

One of my new favourites

I was hooked on this book, on hearing Casaubon’s letter proposing marriage. That letter itself is a masterpiece. Thoroughly enjoyed the social commentary in this story, and the narrator really brought the characters to life. I enjoyed it so much more than if I had read the paper version.

Casaubon’s letter
