Moved from the Austen conference
Please excuse me for bringing up a topic that has possibly been discussed before. I remember seeing several postings about Middlemarch in the past, buy i did not pay much attention to them because I had not seen it. During the days in which I was snowed i
n, I watched it and fell in love with it. is there anyone else out there who loves it, too?

Kim, I had wondered where you were, doll. Are you okay? Back at work? Middlemarch is a passion of mine. It could be its own conference. Now where is that pesky Raphael? Arnessa, was he on your list to contact?

I loved the book Middlemarch but have not been able to rent the video. Is it worthwhile to purchase?

Kim, Amy, Elaine, I am with you on this one. Rufus Sewell and the actor who played the doctor (pray excuse me, but it has been many months since I have seen the production), are very fine indeed. The production and adaptation were also very well done, I
MHO.

I listened to Middlemarch as a book on tape a few weeks ago (I had read it before and also seen the series) and there was something in the end about Dorothea that made me think immediately of Amy. I won't say what, to avoid embarrassing her (you).

Mari, the guy who played the doctor was Douglas Hodge, very handsome in a CF sort of way. I liked it but, I found it a little depressing for me. The only bright spark was Rosamunde and the blonde hair is what made me think of bright. I found it to be a
very dark and brooding adaptation.

Middlemarch is currently being rescreened by our National Broadcaster, ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) on Sunday evenings at 7:30 pm. No amount of sunshine or fine evenings are going to keep me from seeing this superb series again. :-)

is available on tape in Oz? I was unaware of it, but will purchase an aerial connector for my box and attempt my first trip on the tv waves for 10 years on Sunday. The problem will be; what happened so far?

Elaine, in my humble opinion, Middlemarch is definitely worth purchasing.

Jane, you know what's funny? I had forgetten you said that the thing that reminded you about me was about Dorothea? I started to read the Finale and so far have identified with Fred, Mary and Lydgate. Not Rosamond one whit, though. Don't tell yet. Let me
guess. Such rich real characters.

BTW, what kind of a first name is Tertius? Greek, Roman, etc.?

Anna, I think we are up to the third of six episodes. Dorothea is married to a sickly Casaubon, and Rosamond has captured Lydgate's heart with her sweet singing and beautiful piano playing. The Garth and Vincy families fight on. I've the
novel Anna, if ever you want to read it.

"Tertius" means "third" in Latin (as a name, "third-born son").

Kim...After our discussion in the Pemberley Drawing Room I went on a hunt for Middlemarch. I have it on order and it will be here in one week...I'm afraid I could not find it as reasonably as you did...but after all your recommendations and what I have r
ead here...it sounds like it will be worth it! After I am finally able to watch it...lets discuss it! Linda in GA

Okay, Myretta, I may. Backspace key is driving me a little nuts but that may be because I originated the session from access.
