The Mill on the Floss is a novel by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), first published in three volumes in 1860 by William Blackwood. A conversation between Flora Ackroyd and James Sheppard in Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: “That pen that George Eliot wrote The Mill on the Floss with—that sort of thing—well, it’s only just a pen after all. If you’re really keen on George Eliot, why not get The Mill on the Floss in a cheap edition and read it? ... I suppose you never read such old out-of-date stuff, Miss Flora? ... You’re wrong, Dr Sheppard. I love The Mill on the Floss.”
《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》是乔治·艾略特的第二部鸿篇巨著,是艾略特自传性最强的一部小说。讲述了弗洛斯河旁圣奥格镇上磨坊主杜利弗因欠债而发生诉讼纠纷,败诉破产后其子女汤姆和玛吉的生活发生了重大的变化。经过几年的努力,聪明而勤奋的汤姆终于攒够了钱还清债务并买回了磨坊,但玛吉的爱情却因汤姆的反对而频遭挫折。当两人在危难之中和解时,凶猛的洪水却最终将兄妹俩吞没,但他们深深的手足之情却不能不让人感动。
Introduction by 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.
