Fifteen Fictions for Summer re-release: Middlemarch Part 1
Manage episode 435488797 series 3469425
Today’s Great Political Fiction is George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1872), which has so much going on that it needs two episodes to unpack it. In this episode David discusses the significance of the book being set in 1829-32 and the reasons why Nietzsche was so wrong to characterise it as a moralistic tale. Plus he explains why a book about personal relationships is also a deeply political novel.
Also today: Middlemarch Part 2
Tomorrow: Anthony Trollope’s Phineas Redux
