a brother and sister growing up on the river Floss near the village of
St. Oggs, evidently in the 1820’s, after the Napoleonic Wars but prior
to the first Reform Bill (1832). The novel spans a period of 10-15
years, from Tom and Maggie’s childhood up until their deaths in a flood
on the Floss. The book is fictional autobiography in part, reflecting
the disgrace that George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) herself had while in a
lengthy relationship with a married man, George Henry Lewes.
Maggie Tulliver holds the central role in the book, as both her
relationship with her older brother Tom, and her romantic relationships
with Philip Wakem, a hunchbacked, but sensitive and intellectual,
friend, and with Stephen Guest, a vivacious young socialite in St. Oggs
and fiance of Maggie’s cousin Lucy Deane, constitute the most
significant narrative threads: (Wikipedia)
