Product Information

The Mill on the Floss is a vel by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), first published in three volumes in 1860 by William Blackwood. The vel spans a period of 10 to 15 years and details the lives of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, siblings growing up at Dorlcote Mill on the River Floss at its junction with the more mir River Ripple near the village of St. Ogg's in Lincolnshire, England. Both the river and the village are fictional. The vel is most probably set in the 1820s - a number of historical references place the events in the book after the Napoleonic Wars but before the Reform Act of 1832. It includes autobiographical elements, and reflects the disgrace that George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) herself experienced while in a lengthy relationship with a married man, George Henry Lewes. Maggie Tulliver is the central character of the book. The story begins when she is 9 years old, 13 years into her parents' marriage. Her relationship with her older brother Tom, and her romantic relationships with Philip Wakem, a hunchbacked, sensitive, and intellectual friend, and with Stephen Guest, a vivacious young socialite in St. Ogg's and assumed fiance of Maggie's cousin Lucy Deane, constitute the most significant narrative threads.
