MIDDLEMARCH IS A NOVEL set in a provincial town of England in the era of reform that began in the 1830s. Its two young protagonists, Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate, aspire to play their part in 'changing the world a little'. Unlike many characters in nineteenth-century novels, impelled by a drive to possess and consume (money, success, status), they are moved by the opposite impulse: to give themselves to a cause or to fulfil a duty. But in their case, these are not traditional responsibilities, but solitary modern vocations. Kierkegaard wrote in 1843 that it was a mistake to consider duty as a collection of external rules. Adapted from the source document.
