They were the mixed result of young and novel impulse struggling amidst the conditions of an imperfect social state, in which great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.” Synopsis The most ambitious book George Eliot ever wrote is a masterful portrayal of the various lives and shifting fortunes in a rural community. A young idealist named Dorothea Brooke, a tactless but charming Dr. Lydgate, whose marriage to the extravagantly wealthy beauty Rosamund, and his innovative medical techniques, all threaten to derail his career, and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, who is concealing scandalous crimes from his past, populate its landscape. Virginia Woolf praised George Eliot's work as "one of the few English novels written for adult people". George Eliot's interweaving of their tales produces a deeply detailed and emotional drama.
