Yet she not only reflects these discussions but also participates in them intellectually in Middlemarch.
George Eliot situates her novel within such a complex scene of early 19th century and reflects the intermingled developments of the time in the fictitious world of Middlemarch community. The grandeur of Middlemarch has been perhaps due to its intellectual powers to include major ideas of the Victorian England, which also attracts contemporary readers as well, such as the idea of reform and progress at the aftermath of Industrial Revolution, the rise of science and scientific thought with its influence on theology, the changing face of the new world despite the old, and the overall prosperity of Victorian England greatly developing and reaching to the one tenth of the world’s soil.
