Abstract: This article explores the ideas behind the endless praise for George Eliot's "Middlemarch" as one of the best British novels ever written. It examines Eliot's masterful use of realism to depict the social, political, and intellectual landscape of Victorian England, particularly focusing on the lives and experiences of ordinary people in a provincial town in 19th century England, and its continuing relevance to readers today.
