  • "The Mr. and Mrs. Tulliver live at Dorlcote Mill on the river Floss with their two children, Tom and Maggie. This is the story of their lives at the Mill and the catastrophic flood that takes the lives of the brother and sister."@en
  • "The Mill on the Floss is the story of the Tulliver family of Dorlcote Mill, on the river Floss, in England. Mainly it tells of Maggie Tulliver, an impulsive young girl who is swept on to womanhood by a current of strange circumstances: her love for the son of the man who ruined her father; the scorn heaped upon her when she runs away with another man; her passionate reconciliation with her brother."
  • "Een molenaarsdochter, door omstandigheden gedwongen zich te gedragen als een onwetend, keurig Victoriaans meisje, leeft in voortdurend conflict met haar broer en gaat tenslotte ten onder aan haar behoefte aan ontwikkeling en waardering."
  • "Maggie Tulliver is always in trouble. Her spirited temperament brings her into conflict with her family and she finds her own nature divided between the claims of moral responsibility and her hunger for self-fulfillment."@en
  • "A tragic story in a setting of English country life. The conflict of affection and antipathy between a brother and sister is a dominant theme. Among the characters whose humors provide many comic pages, the three aunts are famous."@en
  • "Rebellious and affectionate, Maggie Tulliver is always in trouble. Recalling her own experiences as a girl, George Eliot describes Maggie's turbulent childhood with a sympathetic engagement that makes the early chapters of The Mill on the Floss among the most immediately attractive she ever wrote. As Maggie approaches adulthood, her spirited temperament brings her into conflict with her family, her community, and her much-loved brother Tom. Still more painfully, she finds her own nature divided between the claims of moral responsibility and her passionate hunger for self-fulfilment. George Eliot's searching exploration of Maggie's complex dilemma has made this one of the most enduringly popular of her works."
  • "Maggie Tulliver, passionate and imaginative, comes into conflict with the middle-class narrowness of the town of St. Ogg's and with her beloved brother Tom."@en
  • "Earnest and moral Victorian novel dealing with romance, reason, and rebellion."@en
  • "Tells of the joys and sorrows of Maggie, her quarrels with Tom and her father's sympathy for his "little wench.""
  • "Maggie Tulliver, like her father, is affectionate, headstrong, and rebellious. Her brother Tom, like his mother and aunts, is self-righteous and self-satisfied. When she is befriended by Philip Wakem, whose father helped ruin Mr. Tulliver's business, Tom self-rightiously banishes Philip from Maggie's life. Along with Philip goes her interest in art, music, and literature. She turns to religion in an attempt to stupefy her faculties and to banish all wishing from her life, while Tom works off the debts that have resulted from his father's bankruptcy and death. She becomes attached to Stephen Guest, her cousin's fiance, and, accidentally drifts away with him in a boat until it becomes too late for them to return home the same day. Tom, now the model of a successful St. Ogg's businessman, repudiates her as a lost woman. "You shall find no home with me - you have disgraced us all." When the river Floss floods and Tom is trapped at the mill, Maggie rows out to save him. In the boat with his sister, Tom re-evaluates his actions and their lives."@en
