First sentence: Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa, has not smiled with some gentleness at the thought of the little girl walking forth one morning hand-in-hand with her still smaller brother, to go and seek martyrdom in the country of the Moors?
Description: Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life is a complicated work about the lives of numerous characters in a tiny English town, with marriage, ambition, reform, and disillusionment as central themes.


Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate are two characters in George Eliot's novels that explore the conflict between idealism and social realism. The novel's realism stems from its emphasis on moral choices, societal influence, and slow development, which depict society as an interconnected web in which human aspirations shape public outcomes.
