Sneak Peak:
“But of Mr. Brooke I make a further remark perhaps less warranted by precedent— namely, that if he had foreknown his speech, it might not have made any great difference. To think with pleasure of his niece’s husband having a large ecclesiastical income was one thing— to make a Liberal speech was another thing; and it is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.”
Summary:
This story takes place in a fictional town call Middlemarch in the years surrounding the 1832 Reform Act. In Middlemarch, a man named Fred Featherstone is cured of an illness by Dr. Tertius Lydgate. The doctor secretly uses Fred's illness as a way to get closer to Mary Garth, whose father forbids her from marrying him. John Raffles, a mysterious man who’s aware of Bulstrode's shady past, attempts to blackmail him. Ladislaw Bulstrode, Casaubon and Lydgate are all forced to leave the town of Middlemarch by the general opprobrium over their involvement in the loan scandal.
Dorothea falls in love with Ladislaw and renounces her fortune and shocks her family when she tells them that she is going to marry him. The "Finale" details the ultimate fortunes of the main characters as well as how they came to accept their exile from the town of Middlemarch.
