Why does Middlemarch still feel so modern? In this video essay, I explore George Eliot’s great realist novel as a study of perception, selfhood, and moral vision. From Dorothea Brooke and Casaubon to Lydgate, Rosamond, and Fred Vincy, Middlemarch reveals how imagination, ego, and sympathy shape the way we experience reality. Drawing on Eliot’s scientific metaphors of light, lenses, and observation, this video shows why Virginia Woolf called Middlemarch “one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.”
