The text of The Mill on the Floss, that of the 1862 third edition
for which Eliot made her last revisions, has been annotated in
order to assist the reader with obscure references and allusions.
"Backgrounds" includes fifteen letters from the 1859-69 period
centering on the novel s content and composition; "Brother and
Sister" (1869), a little-known sonnet sequence; and eight Victorian
reviews and responses, both published and unpublished, on the
novel, including those by Henry James, Algernon Charles Swinurne,
and John Ruskin. Judiciously chosen from the wealth of essays on
The Mill on the Floss published in this century, "Criticism"
includes ten of the best studies of the novel, providing the reader
with historical and critical perspective. The contributors are
Leslie Stephen, Virginia Woolf, F. R. Leavis, George Levine, Ulrich
Knoepflmacher, Philip Fisher, Mary Jacobus, John Kucich, Margaret
Homans, and Deirdre David. A Chronology and Selected Bibliography
are also included."
Nineteenth-century British culture frequently represented the eye
as the preeminent organ of truth. These essays explore the
relationship between the verbal and the visual in the Victorian
imagination. They range broadly over topics that include the
relationship of optical devices to the visual imagination, the role
of photography in changing the conception of evidence and truth,
the changing partnership between illustrator and novelist, and the
ways in which literary texts represent the visual. Together they
begin to construct a history of seeing in the Victorian
period. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived
program, which commemorates University of California Press's
mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them
voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893,
Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1995.
