Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket

Restless and fiercely intelligent, Maggie Tulliver is a girl who doesn't quite fit into the narrow world she's born into. Her fiery spirit clashes with the rigid expectations of her family, especially her pragmatic brother, Tom, whose love for her is both protective and unyielding. As she grows, Maggie is drawn to passion and knowledge, but every step toward independence brings painful consequences. Torn between duty and desire, she must navigate love, loyalty, and a society determined to shape her into something she's not.

With its rich psychological depth and exploration of gender roles, The Mill on the Floss stands as a landmark in 19th-century literature. George Eliot challenges the rigid social structures of Victorian England, particularly the limited opportunities available to women, through the complex and fiercely independent Maggie Tulliver. The novel also offers a strikingly modern portrayal of sibling dynamics, personal agency, and the conflict between emotion and societal duty. Its nuanced realism and philosophical depth cement its place as one of the most significant works of the era, bridging the gap between personal struggle and broader social change.
