The Mill on the Floss Summary
| `WHAT I want, you know,' said Mr Tulliver, `what I want, is to give Tom a good eddication: an eddication as'll be a bread to him. That was what I was thinking on when I gave notice for him to leave th' Academy at Ladyday. I mean to put him to a downright good school at Midsummer. |

| One of George Eliot's best-loved works, The Mill on the Floss is a portrait of the bonds of provincial life as seen through the eyes of the free-spirited Maggie Tulliver, who is torn between a code of moral responsibility and her hunger for self-fulfillment. Rebellious by nature, she causes friction both among the townspeople of St. Ogg's and in her own family, particularly with her brother, Tom. Maggie's passionate nature makes her a beloved heroine, but it is also her undoing. The Mill on the Floss is a luminous exploration of human relationships and of a heroine who critics say closely resembles Eliot herself. |

' The Mill on the Floss |
|
|
| The Mill on the Floss, published in 1860, is a vivid portrayal of childhood and adolescence in rural England. The novel centres on Maggie Tulliver, whose passionate and imaginative nature brings her into conflict with the middle-class narrowness of St Ogg's and, more poignantly, with her beloved brother Tom. The result is one of George Eliot's best-loved works containing an affectionate and perceptive study of provincial life, a brilliant evocation of the complexities of human relationships and a heroine whose rebellious spirit closely resembles George Eliot's own. |

|
| Powerful and moving, "The Mill on the Floss" is considered to be George Eliot's most autobiographical novel. Set in early nineteenth-century England, it is the story of gifted, free-spirited Maggie Tulliver and her selfish, spoiled brother, Tom, who were born and raised at Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss. From earliest childhood Maggie worships her brother and longs to win his approval, along with that of her parents. However, her fierce intelligence and strong streak of independence bring her into constant conflict with her family. Torn between what is considered her "moral responsibility" and her search for self-fulfillment, Maggie ultimately demonstrates honor and courage in the face of the disapproval of a narrow, tradition-bound society. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press. |
