{"product_id":"9780008509514","title":"Middlemarch by George Eliot","description":"One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'          HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.                         `People glorify all sorts of bravery except the bravery they might show on behalf of their nearest neighbours'                    Rejecting the conventional narratives of the time, Middlemarch shows a realistic portrayal of Victorian village life. Peopling this ground-breaking work are Tertius Lydgate, a talented yet naive young doctor; Dorothea Brooke, stuck in a loveless marriage; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding shocking crimes from his past.             An intricate story weaving together many lives, Middlemarch is described as one of the best-loved novels of all time and heralded as `one of the few English novels written for grown-up people' by Virginia Woolf. It is a richly nuanced drama that is a quintessential English classic.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56221765075317,"sku":"9780008509514","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780008509514.jpg?v=1762199158","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780008509514","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
