George Eliot has been compared to Shakespeare and Dante in her role as a moral authority. This text offers criticism of her work from some of the most respected authorities on the subject. Studied works include 'The Mill on the Floss', 'Silas Marner', 'Middlemarch', and 'Daniel Deronda'.
`But it's bad - it's bad,' Mr Tulliver added - `a woman's no business wi' being so clever; it'll turn to trouble, I doubt.' Rebellious and affectionate, Maggie Tulliver is always in trouble. Recalling her own experiences as a girl, George Eliot describes Maggie's turbulent childhood with a sympathetic engagement that makes the early chapters of The Mill on the Floss among the most immediately attractive she ever wrote.
Maggie Tulliver has two lovers: Philip Wakem, son of her father’s enemy, and Stephen Guest, already promised to her cousin. But the love she wants most in the world is that of her brother, Tom. Maggie’s struggle against her passionate and sensual nature leads her to a deeper understanding and to eventual tragedy. Find out more about The Mill on the Floss below.
