Casaubon, Mr
Casaubon, Mr the bachelor scholar in George Eliot's Middlemarch (1871–2) who becomes Dorothea's husband; he is initially admired by his wife for his breadth of knowledge, but it becomes clear that his intellectual life is limited to pedantry, and that his projected great work on comparative religions will never be written.
