Introduction and Notes by R.T. Jones, Honorary Fellow of the
University of York. 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. As the headstrong Maggie Tulliver grows into womanhood, the
deep love which she has for her brother Tom turns into conflict,
because she cannot reconcile his bourgeois standards with her own
lively intelligence. Maggie is unable to adapt to her community or
break free from it, and the result, on more than one level, is
tragedy.
