Inside the story
Sir James Chettam is a good-natured, conventional baronet living among the landed families of Middlemarch. At the story’s outset, he is courting Dorothea Brooke and is also known to her younger sister, Celia, whose more practical nature contrasts with Dorothea’s ideals.
A healthy, agreeable-looking young baronet of fresh English complexion and gentlemanly bearing, courteous and unremarkably handsome.
