I'm on this George Eliot binge these days. Finished reading The Mill on the Floss, reading Romola, watched Middlemarch, and watching Daniel Deronda. While doing this study, I realize that not many people know or care to know George or Marianne or Mary Ann Evans. But, after this study, I realize that I like her and her work very much. Her characters have depth and confuse me, but that is what I like I guess. Real women and men.

Hi, I found your blog through Jill.
I just finished Middlemarch--a bit of a marathon to read but breathtaking. Eliot departs from the "show don't tell" rule of writing quite a bit, but is so brilliant in her observation of human behavior and psychology, that I didn't mind at all.
love, love, love her!!! She, indeed, is complex! Love Silas Marner! Would love to hear more of your insights, as well! :)
