About George Eliot
Throughout her life, George Eliot was known by many names – from Mary Anne Evans at birth, to Marian Evans Lewes in her middle age, to George Eliot in her fiction – with the latter name prevailing in the years since her death through the continued popularity of her novels. Eliot has long been recognized as one of the greatest Victorian writers, in life and in death, having published seven acclaimed novels and a number of poems, in addition to her work as a translator and a journalist.

The Mill on the Floss
Synopsis
The Mill on the Floss is a novel by George Eliot that tells the story of a young woman's struggle for independence against the restraints of small country life, domineering family, and unsuitable suitors. The story is based on Eliot's own experiences of provincial life.
The story is about the complex relationship between a brother and sister, Tom and Maggie Tulliver. The theme of the story is a struggle between passion (personified by Maggie) and duty (personified by her brother, Tom). Maggie lives for Tom's love and approval, but if she follows her heart and her passions, her brother rejects her.
