Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life is a novel by English author George Eliot. It appeared in eight installments (volumes) in 1871 and 1872. Set in Middlemarch, a fictional English Midlands town, from 1829 to 1832, it follows distinct, intersecting stories with many characters. Issues include the status of women, the nature of marriage, idealism, self-interest, religion, hypocrisy, political reform, and education. Leavened with comic elements, Middlemarch approaches significant historical events in a realist mode: the Reform Act 1832, early railways, and the accession of King William IV. I

- 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?

- 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.

ミドルマーチ（Middlemarch, A Study of Provincial Life）は、ジョージ・エリオットのペンネームをもつ英国の作家メアリー・アン・エヴァンスが執筆した小説。1871年と1872年に8回に分けて発表された。1829年から1832年までの架空のイングランド中部の商業都市ミッドランドの町を舞台に、それぞれ異なった生活環境の中でともに理想に燃える二人の男女の人生の経緯を描く物語。副題に「地方生活の一習作」とあるように、ミドルマーチの住民を描きながら、多彩な人生模様と心の動きを描いて、人生について深く考えさせる書となっている。エリオットは1869年から1870年にこの小説を形成する2つの作品を書き始め、1871年に完成させた。最初のレビューはまちまちであったが、後年ヴァージニア・ウルフが、この本を激賞して以来、今では彼女の最高傑作、英国における偉大な小説の1つとして広く見られている 。
