Religion I: Comparative Mythography
• Middlemarch, Book 2
• (Optional) Eliot, ‘A Word for the Germans'
The historicist tone of Eliot's Middlemarch (1871-2) has been commented on by readers from Virginia Woolf to Zadie Smith. This reading group seeks to explore the historical richness found in Eliot's study of provincial life.
