Middlemarch (Wordsworth Classics) Review: Find a copy of the prelude before listening. - The novel and the narration are extraordinary. I loved listening to this version. I only have one recommendation to readers who are about to embark on the Audible version. This version does not include the prelude. I didn’t not discover this fact until I finished the book. Reading the prelude in a print version after finishing the audiobook, I recognized that the prelude in fact could be considered a crucial introduction to the book. I recommend finding and reading the prelude at the library or online before you listen. Review: As described - When I read a review, I don’t want to know what you thought of the book - I want to know about the condition of the product. I get nervous ordering books sometime when I see people post pictures of ripped covers, damaged corners, pages falling out, and things like that. That being said, this book arrived exactly as described. There was no damage, no printing errors, and it was in pristine condition - exactly as it should be. Looks just like the pictures in the listing. Very satisfied. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #47,322 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,519 in Classic Literature & Fiction #16,332 in Genre Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,482) | | Dimensions | 5 x 1.56 x 7.78 inches | | Edition | Edition Not Stated | | ISBN-10 | 1853262374 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1853262371 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 736 pages | | Publication date | January 5, 1998 | | Publisher | Wordsworth Editions Ltd | ## Images ![Middlemarch (Wordsworth Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dOS8PuEEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Find a copy of the prelude before listening. *by M***G on February 10, 2026* The novel and the narration are extraordinary.

The prose is dense, it covers a massive amount of ground, and it takes a little bit for the reader to find their footing and understand the setting, exposition and context of the community and its central characters. However, if the patient reader can stick with it, there is quite a remarkable and powerful glimpse into humans contained within the pages. A.S.Byatt, in the introduction, most notably mentions that Eliot’s book is one about life’s “indefiniteness.” This is an apt way to describe the totality of the novel, as it plays out in various forms through the characters as a central theme. One of the most remarkable features of the novel is simply Eliot putting so many characters’ lives within the community of Middlemarch under a proverbial microscope, giving us a glimpse into human nature and the conflicts within individuals’ lives. And these characters are very flawed and human. Through many aspects, Middlemarch’s focus is characters who are either trying to do remarkable and noble things or trying to find life’s successes, but ultimately having many of those quests stifled and stymied. Oftentimes it is because of foolish pride, an unfortunate vice, or any other character flaw of some sort. However, in the same breath, this is noteworthy because these said characters often fight against their own faults, trying in some manner to overcome. In this manner, it is a fascinating look at characters such as Dorothea or Lydgate, who have romanticized ideas and visions that sometimes end with bitter realities. Yet, they have to grapple with these realities and find solutions because there are no easy answers. Among other things, the characters are also so well drawn. Eliot spends an extensive amount of time (almost to a fault) letting the reader gets to know these characters and painting a picture of Middlemarch society. I thought that Dorothea was an interesting character in that she sparks quite a bit of polarizing thoughts, both praiseworthy and critical, in reviews and book club discussions. I thought she is definitely a dynamic and well-rounded character, with flaws, sure, but with a character arc and a depth. She has a nobleness and an independence in her in not letting others dictate her life that was admirable. As mentioned before, these characters have battles: in love and marriage, in occupations and aspirations, in politics and community, in their own personal vices, and all under the glare and gossip and scrutiny of an ever-expanding and industrialized Middlemarch community. Eliot packs so much into this book, the characters’ lives, their faults, their struggles, their strengths, their weaknesses, and there is a wholeness to the novel upon finishing the final page. It was a long journey, but a journey I was glad I was on for the full duration. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66520548-middlemarch-wordsworth-classics](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66520548-middlemarch-wordsworth-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
