In the second episode of Middlemarch, Rupert and Charlie look at the timeless story of Bulstrode the banker and his downfall, and at the various groups of people - amongst them doctors, farmers, politicians, gossips and vicars, who make up Middlemarch society. How does Eliot merge the civic with the individual? How does she create a web of connection, and why do so many things happen twice? Does it matter if you're just an ordinary person trying to do your best? What would Eliot's reputation have been if she'd never written Middlemarch? And is it the greatest novel ever written in English?Join Rupert and Charlie to find out.
