Ph.D. candidate, Victorianist, and host of Podcast 13 Miranda Butler (@Mirandactl) joins host Emily Edwards (@MsEmilyEdwards) to talk about the beast of a book, George Eliot's MIDDLEMARCH– which (spoiler!) Emily found really charming despite the fact that it is 900 pages long, intensely political, and filled to the brim with fuckbois.  iTunes Spotify YouTube Stitcher Google Play Music Anchor Do you want to work with us?

Ironically, running out of time to read George Eliot's Middlemarch gave us the time to get to H.G. Wells' foundational sci-fi novella The Time Machine, in which he invents the very concept (or at least the modern nomenclature) of a time machine. Wells' protagonist is, surprisingly enough, able to make guesses about sentient life from 800,000 years in the future that just happen to align with his present-day worldview.

Rebecca Mead first read George Eliot's Middlemarch as a teenager in England, and she's returned to the novel about every five years or since -- and what she discovers in her reading is much different now than it was then. My Life in Middlemarch discusses how her attitudes towards the story's characters have changed, as well as offering an appreciation of Eliot's role in literature from a deeply personal perspective.

Originally from Vancouver, Professor Rohan Maitzen has an Honours B.A. in English and History from the University of British Columbia and an M.A. and Ph.D. in English from Cornell University.  Since 1995, she has been a member of Dalhousie University's English Department. Her main teaching area is the Victorian novel; she has a particular admiration for George Eliot and assigns her greatest novel, Middlemarch, whenever possible. I had the pleasure of ‘meeting' Rohan online, in the comments section of her blog Novel Readings. I admire her smooth flowing, erudite prose and her reaching out to an audience wider than just those sitting in her classroom,  as well as her grappling with issues about who the academic should address, and how literature should be taught. Rohan was in Ottawa recently for a ‘Learneds' conference. I got to meet her in person, and interview her, off the cuff , one on one, about the life and lessons found in Middlemarch.
