Produktbeschreibung
Maggie Tulliver is a brilliant woman who finds herself at the center of a love triangle between her childhood crush and a cousin's potential fiancé. The controversial romance makes her a town pariah, damaging her most beloved relationships. Maggie adores her older brother Tom, who's a consistent yet sometimes adversarial figure. She's an idealistic student of the world, while Tom is more of a conservative. Their sibling dynamic is tested by Maggie's interactions with two male suitors: Philip Wakem and Stephen Guest. Philip is the son of their father's mortal enemy, while Stephen is already linked to their cousin Lucy. When Maggie's dalliance with the latter is exposed, she is immediately shunned by the locals, including her brother. The Mill on the Floss is an examination of the complex dynamic between family and friends. Like many of Eliot's novels, it highlights the dangers of groupthink and individual oppression. In this case, Maggie must sacrifice her personal happiness for the acceptance of others.

Autorenporträt
Born Mary Ann Evans on November 22, 1819, in Nuneaton, England, George Eliot was a pioneering novelist, poet, and journalist. Despite little formal schooling, she had access to the Arbury Hall library through her father's work, fueling her intellectual growth. This early exposure to literature and philosophy shaped her future writing.In 1851, Evans moved to London and became assistant editor of the Westminster Review, a major intellectual journal. She formed a partnership with critic George Henry Lewes, living with him despite social conventions. To ensure her fiction was taken seriously, she adopted the pen name George Eliot.Her novels, including Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), and Middlemarch (1871-72), are praised for their realism and psychological depth. She explored rural life, human relationships, and moral struggles with great insight. Eliot died on December 22, 1880, leaving a lasting mark on Victorian literature.
