Review

No writer ever lived who had anything like her power of manifold, but disinterested and impartially observant sympathy. If Sophocles or Cervantes had lived in the light of our culture... George Eliot might have had a rival. --Lord Acton
Raised in the idyllic setting of Dorlcote Mill, the wild and wilful Maggie Tulliver adores her elder brother Tom and is forever trying to gain the approbation of her parents. Yet, as she grows older and the family struggle under the weight of severe pecuniary difficulties, she becomes increasingly caught between the divergent expectations of the four men in her life: a doting father, an obdurate and vengeful brother, a good-looking and frivolous suitor and an earnest old playmate who happens to be the son of her father and brother s sworn enemy. Tragic and affecting, and drawing heavily on George Eliot s own rural upbringing and relationship with her brother, The Mill on the Floss is one of literature s finest evocations of childhood and adolescence, and introduces, in Maggie Tulliver, one of the most beloved heroines in the English canon. This edition contains notes and extra material.

乔治·艾略特（1819~1880），十九世纪知名英国女小说家，本名玛利安·伊凡斯，成名作为《教区生活小景》，其他代表作有《亚当·比德》《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》《织工马南》《米德尔马契》等。《米德尔马契》一书出版后，艾略特的心理分析手法引起评论界重视。随着后人对爱略特的深入研究，她的心理分析手法得到评论界的充分肯定和高度赞扬。她凭借她的创新精神，在英国文学乃至世界文学中占据了显著的地位。

George Eliot(Mary Ann Evans Cross) was born on November 22, 1819 at Arbury Farm, Warwickshire, England. She received an ordinary education and, upon leaving school at the age of sixteen, embarked on a program of independent study to further her intellectual growth. In 1841 she moved with her father to Coventry, where the influences of“skeptics and rationalists”swayed her from an intense religious devoutness to an eventual break with the church. The death of her father in 1849 left her with a small legacy and the freedom to pursue her literary inclinations. In 1851 she became the assistant editor of the Westminster Review, a position she held for three years. In 1854 came the fated meeting with George Henry Lewes, the gifted editor of The Leader, who was to become her adviser and companion for the next twenty-four years. Her first book, Scenes of a Clerical Life (1858), was followed by Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), and Middlemarch (1872). The death of Lewes, in 1878, left her stricken and lonely. On May 6, 1880, she married John Cross, a friend of long standing, and after a brief illness she died on December 22 of that year, in London.
