Eliot（乔治艾略特）,米德尔马契,米德尔马契是英国女作家乔治艾略特的长篇小说。 小说的题目米德尔马契是作者虚构的英国省城。省城附近的庄园住着布鲁克先生的侄女西莉亚和多萝西亚。多萝西亚希望找到学者型丈夫，于是不顾众人反对，和比她年长27岁的牧师卡苏朋订了婚，并预见卡苏朋的侄儿威尔拉迪斯拉夫。与此同时，27岁的利德盖特来到米德尔马契，创立新医院，倡导医疗改革。改革触动了当地医生的利益，利德盖特被迫娶了米德尔马契市长之女罗莎蒙德为妻，被她套取大量钱财。 婚后的多萝西亚十分孤独，威尔与她谈得投机，爱上了她，结果被卡苏朋禁止踏入家门。布鲁克要参加选举，要拉威尔办报造势。詹姆士爵士同西莉亚结婚生子。后卡苏朋突然逝世，威尔留在米德尔马契。最后多萝西亚放弃财产与威尔结合，利德盖特则因无法实现抱负，50岁去世。,米德尔马契,米德尔马契一书有两条主线。其一是理想主义少女多萝西娅的灾难性婚姻与理想的破灭，其二是青年医生利德盖特可悲的婚姻与事业的失败。作者运用对比、对称、平行和重复等手法，把这两条主线巧妙地交织在一起，把众多人物写了进去，成功地表现了“社会挫败人”这样一个幻灭主题。,A
