Inside the story
Nicholas Bulstrode, known as Mr. Bulstrode, is a wealthy, pious banker who holds considerable influence in Middlemarch. Through his charity and credit, he helps shape the town’s affairs while maintaining a highly respectable public image.
A man of sickly, subdued aspect with a pale blond skin, thin gray-besprinkled brown hair, light-gray eyes, and a large forehead; he speaks in a habitual quiet undertone.
