I have read not one, but two essays in the last week or so (one by Zadie Smith, one in the New Yorker) that have convinced me that I substantially missed the point of Middlemarch the first time I read it. And managed to make George Eliot sound like exactly the sort of author I like.
Unfortunately, this means I'm going to have to read it again. I should have some time around May...

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
