Summary:
One double-sided disc contains episodes 1-3 on side A (200 min.) and episodes 4-6 on side B (220 min.). Based on George Elliot's novel, Middlemarch is set in early nineteenth century England and charts the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the town as it divides its population into two opposing factions: the conservatives and the liberals.
"Filled with stunning location footage of England and Rome, an all-star cast brings George Eliot's literary classic to life in this beautifully restored and triumphant BBC production. 19th Century Great Britain - The Industrial Revolution brings both the promise and fear of change. In the provincial town of Middlemarch, the progressive Dorothea Brooke desperately seeks intellectual fulfillment in a male-dominated society and is driven into an unhappy marriage to the elderly scholar Casaubon. No sooner do they embark on their honeymoon than she meets and develops an instant connection with Casaubon's young cousin, Will Ladislaw."--Container.
