Middlemarch is a profound exploration of societal dynamics, moral complexity, and individual aspirations within the framework of a provincial English town. George Eliot critiques the rigid social hierarchies and examines the interplay between personal ambition and communal responsibility, portraying a society in transition during the 19th century. Through the lives of characters such as Dorothea Brooke and Dr. Tertius Lydgate, the novel delves into themes of idealism, marriage, and the constraints imposed by tradition and societal expectations. Since its publication, Middlemarch has been celebrated for its nuanced character development and intricate narrative structure. Its exploration of universal themes such as the pursuit of meaning, the sacrifices required for progress, and the struggles of individuals against societal norms has ensured its place as a cornerstone of English literature. The richly drawn characters and their interwoven stories continue to resonate with readers, offering timeless insights into human nature. The novel''s enduring relevance lies in its ability to illuminate the complexities of human relationships and the ethical dilemmas that arise in the pursuit of change and self-realization. By examining the intersections of personal dreams and social realities, Middlemarch invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of their choices and the intricate web of connections that define communities.

Mary Anne, better-known by her pen name George Eliot, was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Published in 1859 – thirteen years prior to her seminal novel, Middlemarch – ''The Lifted Veil'' is one of her greatest shorter tales. Informed by Eliot''s interest in contemporary science, including physiology, phrenology, and mesmerism, it features a telepathic narrator and a staunchly Gothic atmosphere. Many of the earliest occult stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
