The Mill On The Floss
The Mill on the Floss is undoubtedly
closer to George Eliot's-or, perhaps, rather Mary
Ann Evans'-own life than any other book she
wrote. This is not to imply that it is strictly autobiographical
in the usual sense. It is not. Few of
the incidents and situations in the book bear any
relationship to actual incidents and situations in
her own life, though its setting and atmosphere are
authentically those that Mary Ann Evans grew up
in. In Maggie Tulliver, however, we have a character
who is far closer to her creator in personality
and temperament, in her response to life, in her
acting and suffering and in the quality of these,
than in any other character in the vast gallery of
George Eliot’s creations.
Fortunately for us, George Eliot's pen,
during the twenty years it was given to glean her
teeming brain, was rarely idle. And of all the novels
that she gave the world during those two decades
of her life, none occupies a place of greater
affection and memorability than The Mill on the
Floss.
