In December 1871.

Publication of George Eliot's novel Middlemarch in eight parts commences. The publisher John Blackwood, who had made a loss on acquiring the English rights to Felix Holt, was approached by Lewes in his role as Eliot's literary agent. He suggested that the novel be brought out in eight two-monthly parts, borrowing the method used for Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables.
