While this close-knit aspect of the community has a positive dimension, overall the novel condemns the way that small communities like Middlemarch can foster small-mindedness, pettiness, and intense social hierarchies. This “provincial life” is further defined by the fact that the characters are all connected to one another in a complex familial, marital, political, and professional web. ![]() The novel’s subtitle, “A Study of Provincial Life,” indicates that the book intends to give readers a sense of what “provincial life” is like during this period, during which the class system remained both highly rigid and extremely prominent as a way of structuring pretty much every part of society.

I first visited at thirty-four, newly separated, on a cold gray day with a lover, daffodils rising around the squat cubic pillar. When I thought about the place, I thought of death and sex and possibility.

Now, before you panic about the many diseases you’ll contract from all these bugs, rest assured. In other words, it’s an understatement to say that the number of microbes we contain is astronomical. And it’s 100 times as great as the largest estimate of the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. That number’s greater than the estimated number of human cells in our bodies. Though I knew about the bugs that inhabit my digestive system, British science journalist Ed Yong helped me understand just how numerous and widely dispersed those microbes are on my body-and yours. ![]() Most of the rest of us find that surprising.
