Among her characters are somé of the most remarkable portraits in English literature: Dorothea Brooke, the heroine, idealistic but nai've; Rosamond Vincy, beautiful and egoistic; Edward Casaubon, the dry-as-dust scholar; Tertius Lydgate, the brilliant but morally ílawed physician; the passionate artist, Will Ladislaw; and Fred Vincy and Mary Garth, the childhood sweethearts whose charming courtship is one of the many humorous elements in the novel's
rich comic vein.
Felicia Bonaparte has provided a new Introduction for this updated edition, the text of which is taken from the Clarendon critical edition. Vissza
