Mary Ann Evans She holds fast to the Immutable mechanics of Creation - Celestial clocks driving the Motions of the soul; Bell curves upending Philosophy, usurping Poetry – Until her Heart is broken. Then All Matter becomes heat: the Cosmos decays into fevered Entropy, the flow of Disorder moulding the Psyche - moulding the Future. Minds malleable, Minds like phosphorus, Minds ceaselessly beginning. Not clocks, but Clouds that churn and Swirl amid a welter of Inscrutable wills; Clouds calved and Borne along by Numberless currents. Now she pities those in Thrall to the Final Law of the World: Casaubon lost among Small closets and Winding stairs with his Key to All Mythologies, Cut down by an Adipose heart; Tertius Lydgate riveted to his idée fixe – The Primitive Tissue of Life - floored by Money mishaps, Condemned to treat gout. And yet Will Ladislaw rebels against an Inherited blot; Dorothea Brooke Ventures, Falters and Learns; Evolution rides upon Heaped-up error and Random flux; Chaos and Contingency flesh out Theodicy; Will and fate Entangle - Neither Fully formed, nor Fully free. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 Partly inspired by George Eliot and her magnum opus, Middlemarch (1872)

sciolism: a delicious word from #Middlemarch which utterly defines me, and I have waited my life to know. I am afraid yes I am a sciolist.
#GeorgeEliot used her incredibly rigorous, well informed intellect to create events in Middlemarch. This week, we explore the wonderful chronicle that is Middlemarch. Even better, we’re running a book club.

Screenshot from BBC’s Middlemarch (1994), streamed on iPlayer. The image shows a scene from the iconic television adaptation of George Eliot’s novel Middlemarch (published 1871–1872). The characters stand in period costume inside a Victorian sitting room, illustrating the series’ faithful attention to 19th-century social life and atmosphere.
Finished Middlemarch. Now watching the BBC adaptation.
An ideal novel for one Bluesky post, innit? 😉
Honestly, I think the book read me more than I read it.
Fascinating (and slightly hilarious) how England hasn’t changed that much underneath.
#Middlemarch #GeorgeEliot #Goodreads #FinishedReading
The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life.
Happy Birthday, #GeorgeEliot! #Middlemarch
How can anyone read this and not be moved? Bluesky character limits stopped me from including the preceding words: "But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive". A positive legacy we should all hope for.

Oh Fred Vincy... 🎩🐎
Just reached Chapter 24 and Fred’s £80 horse venture has gone spectacularly wrong. Loving how #Middlemarch refuses to let anyone coast by. So layered, so precise.
Curious to hear: What quiet details should I be watching for as the story deepens?

I’m teaching #Middlemarch, and one of my students has decided that Mr. Casaubon’s name is unpronounceable (accurate), so every single time he’s mentioned in class discussion or in writing, they give him an entirely new name. Here’s a running tally of my favorites so far:
Readers of Middlemarch. What would you recommend next? #middlemarch
Debut novel 7 years ago. Two-initial pseudonym to emulate P.D. James and now no one believes I wrote it.

#Middlemarch
“He has got no good red blood in his body," said Sir James.
"No. Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass, and it was all semicolons and parenthesis," said Mrs. Cadwallader.
#Middlemarch doesn’t miss:
“I don’t see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one womayn to love him dearly.”
“I think the goodness should come before he expects that.”
#Middlemarch
“It had already occurred to him that books were stuff and life was stupid.”
