<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Based closely on the author's own life, the story of Maggie Tulliver explores the conflicts of love and loyalty and the friction between desire and moral responsibility. This compelling narrative - peopled by a vivid and realistic cast that's headed by one of Victorian literature's most appealing characters - offers an accurate and evocative portrait of rural 19th-century England"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Misunderstood Maggie Tulliver is torn. Her rebellious and passionate nature craves expression, but her provincial kin and community expect self-denial. When her father's folly places their ancestral home in jeopardy, Maggie is forced to draw upon her intelligence and sensitivity -- qualities unappreciated in a woman of her time and place. Her failure to uphold the family honor excites the self-righteous wrath of her neighbors, a scornful condemnation shared even by Maggie's adored brother, Tom. <br> Written in 1860, <i>The Mill on the Floss</i> reflects the values of England's growing middle-class society. Maggie's story, with some incidents and characters drawn directly from author George Eliot's own life, explores the conflicts of love and loyalty and the friction between desire and moral responsibility. An accurate, evocative depiction of English rural life, this compelling narrative features vivid and realistic characterizations, including one of nineteenth-century literature's most appealing heroines.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>George Eliot (born Mary Ann Evans, 1819-80) was an English novelist, translator, and one of the Victorian era's most prominent authors. In <i>Middlemarch, Silas Marner, The Mill on the Floss, </i>and other novels, she originated a method of psychological analysis that became commonplace in modern fiction. Eliot's stories continue to captivate with their readable style and the warmth and humanity of their characters.
