Complete and unabridged, with 97 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Thomas Fearnley and Jurriaen Andriessen. A provincial town in the years before the Reform Bill, and two marriages made for the wrong reasons: a clever woman who wants to serve a great mind, and a young doctor who wants to change medicine. Eliot published it in eight parts over a year, and readers followed it the way later audiences followed serials. Virginia Woolf called it one of the few English novels written for grown-up people. Ninety-seven plates, from Teniers to Munch, trace the garden, the stage and the marriage plot across two centuries of European painting.
