Genuine masterpiece, very much to my surprise.

>>8235635 is correct, but the novel has a distinctly feminine flavor. Dickens (not writing about Middlemarch) correctly guessed that Eliot was a woman based on her writing:

"the assurance on the title-page is insufficient to satisfy me, even now. If they originated with no woman, I believe that no man ever before had the art of making himself, mentally, so like a woman, since the world began…"

That works strongly in Middlemarch's favor. Masterpiece of a different mould without explicit, obnoxious identity-political goals.

No one. Women are unintelligent, uncreative and untalented..
There's a reason their brains are smaller and IQs are lower.

The greatest """""""authoress""""""" is at very best on par with a mediocre male book for kids writer.
