Description

The Mill on the Floss tells the story of Maggie Tulliver, a young woman whose life is shaped by the conventions of her family and rural surroundings. Intelligent and headstrong, she struggles to find her place in a world that restricts her vision.

Alongside Maggie's narrative, the novel also explores the social pressures that affect her brother Tom, highlighting the limitations placed on individuals by societal expectations. This Broadview edition features a critical introduction, contextualizing notes, and appendices drawn from contemporary documents, providing a rich understanding of the novel's historical context.

George Eliot's most autobiographical work, The Mill on the Floss remains a significant and influential novel in her oeuvre. With its thoughtful exploration of family, tradition, and social change, this edition is an excellent choice for readers interested in Victorian literature and its enduring themes.
