- Who that cares much to know the history of man, and how the mysterious mixture behaves under the varying experiments of Time, has not dwelt, at least briefly, on the life of Saint Theresa, has not smiled with some gentleness at the thought of the little girl walking forth one morning hand-in-hand with her still smaller brother, to go and seek martyrdom in the country of the Moors?
- last line
- But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

Der Roman Middlemarch. Eine Studie über das Leben in der Provinz gilt als Hauptwerk von George Eliot, einem Pseudonym der Schriftstellerin Mary Anne Evans. In der umfangreichen Erzählung beschreibt sie Ausschnitte aus dem sozialen Leben der fiktiven englischen Provinzstadt Middlemarch um 1830. Hauptthema sind die Beziehungen zwischen Frauen und Männern, die sich in der Anbahnung von Ehen entwickeln und im Ehealltag bewähren oder scheitern. Die Thematik des Romans, die Aktualität, die Qualität und Komplexität der Durchführung haben dazu geführt, dass 2015 82 internationale Literaturkritiker und -wissenschaftler den Roman zum bedeutendsten britischen Roman aller Zeiten wählten. Die psychologischen Partneranalysen und die soziologische Schilderung des Kleinstadtmilieus veranlassen einige Kritiker, Eliot einem frühen Feminismus zuzuordnen.
