Inspired largely by the author's childhood memories, 'The Mill on the Floss' centers on the unequal fates of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, the miller's children. Despite Maggie's natural intelligence, it is Tom who receives an education, and the siblings must face economic misfortune and moral conflicts as they grow up. It is considered one of Eliot's finest works, reflecting her metaphysical concerns through the passionate character of Maggie.
Mary Ann Evans, known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist, poet, journalist, translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. She wrote seven novels: Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), Romola (1862–1863), Felix Holt, the Radical (1866), Middlemarch (1871–1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). Her novels are known for their realism, psychological insight, sense of place, and detailed depiction of the countryside. Middlemarch was described by the novelist Virginia Woolf as "one of the few English novels written for grown-up people" and by Martin Amis and Julian Barnes as the greatest novel in the English language.
