Though tragic in its outcome, this tenderly comic novel combines vivid vignettes of family life with a magnificent portrait of the heroine and an acute critique of Victorian sexual politics. Eliot had no peer when it came to finding the drama at the heart of normal lives lived in tandem with the gigantic rhythms of nature itself, and in "The Mill on the Floss" she shows us once again how thoroughly the art of fiction can satisfy our deepest mental and emotional cravings., A new dramatization by a powerful young playwright of the classic George Eliot novel., A re-invention of George Eliot's classic story of loss, tragedy and the relentless nature of fate, premiered by Shared Experience Theatre Company. Outgrowing - but still hopelessly devoted to - her family, Maggie befriends the disfigured Phillip Wakem, son of a local lawyer. But their fathers become embroiled in a bitter legal dispute that only the prosperous Wakem can win, and the Tullivers find fate dealing them the first harsh hand of many. With their father dead, the family must face up to their cold future together., The best-known and most autobiographical of George Eliot's novels is now available as a Norton Critical Edition., This novel, based on George Eliot's own experiences of provincial life, is a masterpiece of ambiguity in which moral choice is subjected to the hypocrisy of the Victorian age., This volume aims to help students understand George Eliot s novel by providing primary sources that clarify what students may find obscure. These sources are crucial to appreciating the allusions and references that Eliot uses to develop her characters and to enhance her overall presentation of English life. Excerpts and complete texts provide context for both the action of the novel (set in the 1830s) and the period of its composition (1859 1860). The volume also presents some of the best modern criticism of the work to further explore how the novel is currently studied.
