Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose pioneering medical methods, combined with an imprudent marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamond, threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as \"one of the few English novels written for grown-up people\".\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description.
